I thought this might never happen

[la_marquise]

The second draft of The Grass King's Concubine is finally done. I was beginning to think that this was the book that would never end, but I got there. Stuff has been added, stuff has been shuffled, stuff has been deleted and rewritten and reshaped.
I am ded.
Tomorrow I get to print it, and start with the red pen for typos and such. Then, hopefully, off to Nice Editor by early next week at the latest.

In other news, experts claim that cats never purr at other cats, except in terms of mother-kitten behaviour. All I can say is, Horus has just walked up the stairs that are over my head and burst out purring because he found his Ish at the top.

Skirt of the day: new peacock blue floral.

Yay! I want to read it.

I'm fairly sure Leicester and Humbug purr at each other from time to time when grooming, but I wasn't aware they weren't meant to, so haven't been paying it much attention. Maybe the only do it when I join in. I'll try to notice properly now. Then again, they are just big kittens still so the experts may be safe on that one.
