I've always felt that I had to explore feelings and emotions better in my writing, but I'm just not into all that touchy-feely stuff. Well, the other day I was talking to my ol dad about our cat: I asserted that he could think, and my dad agreed. I thought it would be amusing (for me) to write a blog from the point of view of a cat -- but unfortunately our cat's life isn't noteworthy. So I invented a fictional cat with a fictional life and set him to work. His name is Plato and he tries to update his blog every day, no matter how busy he is.

Best of luck to you with NaNo!
