 |  My latest blogging endeavor to catalog my activities here on WdC |
 ~Myself~ My name is Cat Voleur and, as you've probably guessed, I'm a writer. I worked as a freelancer for a few years, taking several ghostwriting positions before finally deciding to start doing stuff under my own name. I've had a handful of small publications and am working on some bigger stuff now. ~My Blog~ This is my second WdC blog. I'm starting it because I just went through and renovated a lot of the things from my portfolio and I thought it would be a good time to get a fresh start. The book is titled after a song from one of my favorite Coheed and Cambria albums. It's mostly going to be about my and what I'm up to on the site. There will sometimes be other stuff like promotions for cool stuff that I find on other sites that I think you guys might be interested in as well as promos for cool content that I find on here. ~My Other Projects~ If you're interested in checking out some of the other work that I do, feel free to check out some of the following links: In Defense of the Horror ~ My Horror Blog hosted on WordPress https://indefenseofthehorror.wordpress.com/ And there's also a horror tumblr, for those of you who are interested: http://in-defense-of-the-horror.tumblr.com/ Toxic Bubblegum ~ A collaborative project I co-founded that provides free resources to creators. http://www.toxicbubblegum.com/ |
 Intro Leading you into the madness of my blog It has been a long, long time. Luckily this was an announced hiatus, but it was a bit longer than I intended for it to be. Over the summer I took a job looking after my cousins, so I was gone a couple months. The other, missing month, has just been due to technical issues. My laptop got a little messed up during the trip, so being back in my office isn't all that I'd imagined it would be. I am back though, albeit not reliably. One of the hardest things about being away is always jumping back into the swing of things here, I always say that. But it's also very true that this community has been great for me, and I miss you guys when I'm away.  Personal A little context about my personal life outside of writing My personal life is, as always, a big mess. I don't even know what to say about it other than, of course, I'm fostering more kittens. They showed up in my parents' house, and if my parents aren't going to turn them away, I'm certainly not either. They're both little orange boys. They've been named Archer and Vonnegut and neither one of them trust me very much, but they're both very loved. Archer is poly-dactyl (meaning he has extra toes.) My life is pretty much just filled with cats and books right now, and there are worse things.  Offsite Some information about writing that I'm doing off of Writing.Com I finished my manuscript over the summer! It was absolutely terrible. I hated a lot of the changes that looked really good on paper, and ended up shifting perspective totally which is, of course, requiring me to redo pretty much everything. Instead of being a third person past tense it's now going to be told in the first person past tense (mostly) and everything is being generally difficult. I'm trying to get the penultimate draft of that done before NaNoWriMo this year, along with the last few edits from last year's NaNoWriMo project, and the outline for this year's project. It's a lot to work on, but it's good to keep busy. Work just cut my hours considerably so I have the free time at least. Oh, and work! I am currently working for a horror blog, if you can believe it! It's called The Dead Walk, and they pay for me to go to watch horror movies. How cool is that?  Writing.com Updates about cool things I'm doing right here I haven't done a lot on here in the few days I've been back, but I have done a tiny bit of new content. First thing, I entered a piece into SCREAMS!!! (Of course!): "Invalid Entry"  And second thing was I uploaded a little WIP backstory for my latest tabletop character (if you can believe that I'm playing in another table top campaign  ) It's not very polished, but you can check that out here if you like:
 Reviews A place for me to share reviews I've done and received As of today, I'm officially open to review requests again! I cannot wait to get back to reviewing on here, honestly it's one of the things I've missed out on most the last few months. If there's anything that you guys would like me to review, you can send a request or just PM me!  Conclusion Wrapping up my ramblings So that about sums it up! It's where I've been, what I'm working on currently, and a little practice getting back into the habit of blogging. I can't wait to get back into the creative zone here ~ and thank you guys as always for being so great! All the best  |

There is a constant stream of stray cats in our area. I said three was my limit with also having our big dog to care for, too, but now my limit is four! 
This is a great review and it's good to have you back Kat. Also, thank you for reviewing my poem, I will catch you up on that as I am a bit behind with myself and work. Loves Ya.
