Shaking, Rattling, Rolling...


He's just space-pirate sexy...

Late night maows, my resplendent and ravishing Pussycats... another, overall, beautiful day on the tame prairie... and the rain fell for about an hour this afternoon... this was after a storm came up quick and looked like a squall for a short time.

Shaking, Rattling, Rolling... in the economy, in society, and likely there will be a major increase in earthquake and volcanic activity, as well as more extreme weather. It’s all ramping up. Earthquakes are already at record high levels across the world. There will likely be more major power outages. So, prepare, prepare, prepare, my darlings ~ food, water, shelter, the necessities. Because this Big Cat loves ya!

Authoress news and mews ~

Wow, busy, busy authorly biz day as far as looking at ways to Indie pub the Kougar’s short story, THE PANTHER AND HIS SAGE QUEEN. The learning curve is steep. The Kougar joined Indie Romance Ink ~ groups.yahoo.com/group/IndieRomanceInk ~ and has learned a lot already. Hey, there’s the cover art, and how to set it up to represent SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS. Really, this Big Cat would rather hire someone to format her story, and upload it to the various sites... it’s really a complex business these days. KUDOS to those authors who are doing it well. You have this Big Cat’s admiration.

Plus, the Kougar is getting some actual penning done on a couple of WIPs that shall remain nameless for now.

And, several of us authors at the HAPPILY EVER AFTER blog will be blogging about *beautiful worlds* beginning September 12. The Kougar is penning her post now.

That Was Definitely the Wrong Answer...

“Purple Fairy Streaks Through Town Square”
Now wouldn’t that be a bitch’n title for the article you can write on the photos we got of a purple fairy running around in Talbot’s Peak?

Ziva clicked over, once again, to the grainy, unfocused picture attached to this ridiculous email. The shot appeared to be a naked male, painted purple, and sporting wings that looked to be from a little girls Halloween costume. She wondered for the hundredth or so time if this was from someone in the office, fucking around with her. But what would be the point of that? No male, alpha, beta or other, from Talbot’s Peak would be caught with purple nuts and glittery wings, flitting around town just to get their name on the website.

DO YOU TRULY DANCE TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUM?

From THE POWER HOUR ~ too many links, so copy and paste if so desired ~

Garret LoPorto is the author and driving force behind a movement which has attracted the attention of people -- young and old -- throughout the United States. The website, www.wayseers.org is a haven and a gathering place for people that know they're different -- but need direction -- an outlet -- and insight into being the best they can be.

LoPorto's site celebrates life, existence, faith, hope, culture, health and more -- all in a way that makes people glad to be a part of it all. Join us as we welcome Garret LoPorto to the Power Hour, and introduce our listeners to the phenomenon that is the Wayseer movement!

What is the purpose of the Wayseers Movement?
"The purpose is threefold. First to turn on Wayseers throughout the planet to what they are. That may be what the video did for you.

Second, to help Wayseers tune in to the source of their inspiration, their genius - the Way. The Way is an intelligent force which can guide our thoughts and our actions towards creating a better world, with more love, truth, beauty and grace.

Third, to encourage each other to let go - to let go of all the things that hold us inside, that keep us from honestly expressing our spontaneous brilliance and our inspiration. Without this final step our miraculous impulses can be bottled up causing all sorts of distortion and afflictions.

In the end this three step process not only heals the individual Wayseer, but releases the greater Wayseer collective to cooperatively achieve amazing things together.

Big Cat by-the-numbers ~

1:11 am... 2:22 am... 2:12 pm... 10:10 pm... this is a time to watch out for yourself and others more than ever...

Be careful, my darling Big Cats, if you have any sizeable amount of money in the bank... well, some banks are now refusing to let you have any large amount of cash... they are refusing you, your own money. DO NOT TRUST BANKS at this time, and keep only what you need for bills.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck Friday off the coast of British Columbia, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake struck 12:41 p.m. PDT (1941 GMT) at a depth of 14.3 miles (23 kilometers) about 173 miles (279 kilometers) west of Vancouver, the USGS said. The quake was initially reported to have a magnitude of 6.7 but was later downgraded by the USGS.

The quake's epicenter just off the west coast of Vancouver Island, south of Port Hardy.

Stephen Halchuck, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, said the quake lasted for 20-30 seconds and rattled buildings across Vancouver Island and the southwest portion of British Columbia. He said there has been no immediate reports of damage in the region.

My short story Mating Run was also passed over for the ARE contest. Don't know what I'm going to do with it. It's really too short to pub alone. I'll probably have to extend it.

Savanna Kougar said...

Bree, yeah, you could extend it. There are e-pubs who take short stories. Serena suggested Ravenous Romance to me. When I read through their submission guidelines, they weren't a fit for me, but could be for you.
Although, I don't know anything about the viability of the company.

I also checked out Secret Cravings, and I think they go with 5000 words. But, when I looked at their style guide, while most of it was good, some of it turned me off. That may not be true for other authors.

Of course, a bit of dark thought here -- those of use who were passed over could create our own anthology, and Indie pub it to ARE, and probably make more than the prize money. Although, with an antho, money distribution would be a problem. And, I'm NOT that biz savvy.

Serena Shay said...

Ooh yes, beautiful worlds...I need to give some thought to what I'm going to blog about. :)

Bree...sorry to hear Mating Run was passed over. The Six Sentence post I read of it was quite sexy! I hope you find a new home for it. :)

Savanna Kougar said...

Yep, I'm looking forward to our blogs. I need to get my 'Beautiful Worlds' post finished tomorrow
