My human said, "But, Clyde, I have something important to share, so I need the blog day."
I said, "I can tell them. Let ME tell them. Please? Please? Please?"
She finally sighed and said, "I can't resist your puppy-dog eyes. All right. Go ahead."
So I ignored the "puppy-dog" comment and got to work.
Last week my human told you we're... *gulp* ... moving. That's a big change. But once she gets settled in her new office at the new house, guess what? She'll be writing new stories, too. Nine of them. Uh-huh, she signed something called a "contract" for nine books with a place called Waterbrook Multnomah.
Six of the stories will be historical. (That means the setting is a long time ago.) Three of the stories will be contemporary. (That means current day.) (I've learned quite a bit just hanging around my human's office and listening in.)
All those stories means she's going to be sitting in her desk chair A LOT. And she's going to need someone to hold her in place. I know the perfect person ... er, cat for the job. After all, she calls me her "writing mews," and that's an important position. I take it seriously. (Can't you tell how alert and serious I am in this picture?)
So...now we just need her new desk (is that thing EVER going to get here???) and she and I will get to work on the first of her new stories. I happen to know this first one is historical, and it includes a poor farm, and so far no cat has made an appearance. But I'm pretty sure I'll be able to talk her into writing a kitty into the story. All it takes is puppy-dog eyes and a sweetly meowed, "Please? Please? Please?" (She's such a marshmallow... Heh heh heh.)
So, until the next time my human lets me blog for her, take care and--as my human would say--God bless you mousely...er, muchly.
Sincerely yours,
Clyde Whiskers Sawyer
And how many words is that for today?
C'mon--type, Kim, type!
P.S. -- I have a Facebook Page if you'd like to be my friend. (Hint, hint...)
Clyde! It's so wonderful to see you on the blog!! I need to remember to read it to the cats when I get home from New Jersey :-) They love keeping up with you on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Kim's news with us. We're excited both about the move and the next nine books she's going to write. Keep up the good work. Looks like she's typing away!
And I believe in yesterday's post I made a comment about how I love the new background for the blog. It makes reading it so much easier. But I have noticed there have been a few times I've commented on things in the past that when I've come back, my comment is completely gone :-( That happened again yesterday. *sad face*
Oh, I loved your blog this morning, Clyde!!!!! Your life is going to be so exciting with moving into a new home and then having a new office and desk to share with your human! Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!!! Love you Clyde!!!!!

Hi Clyde! What a lovely Post! I do HOPE you have an easier time posting, than I do with my comments!
ReplyDeleteI think you will make a wonderful secretary for your human! Judging by your photos, you look sooo overworked! Perhaps a "kitty treat" will be in order, for being so helpful... I can see you're going to be very busy with the new series that your human is writing and also with your moving house! How exciting that will be for you.... all of you!
I am going to have a look at your face book page. How my Topsy, would have loved to have met you. She's in kitty heaven now, but her photo is sitting right by me!:)
Happy writing Clyde and look after your human,she's precious.:)
Clyde is blushing with pleasure to know you've read his post and enjoyed it. Now he's harboring ideas of becoming a writer in his spare time--you know, when he isn't inspiring me. :o)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog today Clyde. Maybe your human will let you do it again one of these days. My cat TacoBell said to tell you "Hello"
ReplyDeleteOh Clyde! How wonderful of your human to let you do her blog! Grayson Patrick Young and I enjoyed it very much. I even let him come into the office to read it!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about your human's new contract! Nine books! Wow! That's a lot of lap time for you! I hope your human realizes how busy she will be as the owner of a B & B because I would hate to see her get so busy she can't write!
Sending love to you and your siblings (and the Wugmump too)and especially your human. Looking forward to more blogging by you. Hey, maybe your human will let you start your own blog on your own page (sometime in the future)!
So glad you got to blog today, Clyde :o) You definitely look like a good writing helper! My cats aren't so helpful...neither is my rabbit.
ReplyDeleteAnd what exciting news you shared with us! :o)
Good morning, Clyde! What a purr-fect blogger you are (and quite handsome, I might add). Thank you for sharing more about Kim's writing news with us, and you just keep reminding her about writing a kitty into that story *smile*. ~ When my Moses wakes up from his morning cat-nap I'll be sure to show him your post today! So glad I paws-ed from my morning activities to purr-ooz this blog.*wink* ~ Sending warm fuzzy hugs (along with some virtual tuna), Patti Jo (Mom of Moses)
ReplyDeleteClyde, I am so glad you are flexible about moving! And what good news about the contract!!! Woo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteClyde you are so cute, you are such a good friend on FB already. I am so glad Kim let you blog today. Ask her real nice like if she will let you do it again soon. I think we all enjoyed your point of view on things. Had heard you were moving are you moving very far from your current home? My Ming is already outside investigating the world outside, she loves that. I know you are so much help with inspiration to Kim in her writtings and she appreciates it,she is such a wonderful author!!! But you know that already. Have a purrrrfect day you are so special. <3 and hugs to you and Kim.
ReplyDeleteOh Clyde, you did an excellent job of blogging. Who says a cat cant learn something new?
ReplyDeleteUntil next time.
Enjoy your day!!
Congrats on the contract, Kim. And could you send Clyde over my way? I could use a bit of help and it looks like he knows his way around a keyboard quite well.
ReplyDeleteLove all the kittens/cats and puppies have their own blogs, or at least get to be guest blogs on their peeps page! i am following both you, Clyde and Poppet, as well as Charlie Bear over at his house with B.J. You guys are so fun! i will be anxiously waiting for Kim's novels, and also for you to make an appearance again, Clyde

Great job, Clyde. Hope your human lets you blog more often. Are you ready to move? Think of all the new rooms and hiding place you can explore that is if you are allowed to. Glad your human will be busy writing new books and you will make sure she keeps busy writing by sitting on her lap when you can get before the other kitties.

Clyde waggled his paw at TacoBell, Grayson, and Moses.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, Clyde suggested giving your cats a copy of "The Cat's Meow" and reading it with them everyday. It might inspire a love of literature. *meow*
Phyllis, Clyde says he has no choice about being flexible--it's a matter of "where she goes, I go." Ha!
Judy, if you want to visit with Clyde, you'll have to come here. We'll have lots of rooms from which to choose!
Clyde was happy to see his FB friends Doxie and Marianne come by. He says "Thank mew."
And Karen, Clyde says he'll take his time about exploring. New places can be scary, but he's trying to be brave.
Poppet Hatcher here: Great post, Clyde. Thanks for the "cute" comment. Don't tell Pinky I said so, but your a rather handsome dude yourself.
ReplyDeletePoppet, Clyde says he'll keep your mutual admiration a secret. (And he asks if you'll tell Pinky hello and purrrrr for him.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, Clyde! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd what a handsome kitty you are! Reminds me of my childhood cat...thank you for sharing your human's news! <3
