Big Cat out in the cold as usual...

Late night meows, my fabulously flirty Pussycats... the tame prairie is as beautiful as ever, and the sunsets inspire a mental kiss upon their incredible color-loveliness... so, the Kougaress saw an interesting little saying today, the 'morals of a tapeworm'... well, yes, however, she would say something along the lines of 'less than the morals of a tapeworm happily attached to a fat, dumb and happy host'.

There was 4.0 earthquake in southeast Missouri recently, and as this Big Cat heard... you'll need to check the reliability of this... there is a New Madrid earthquake warning in that area and along the Tennessee fault line... yeah, right, that's all we need is the BIG ONE... so, NOT! May the Divine intervene to the benefit of All.
~~~~~~

Out in the cold as usual... yes, the Kougaress is feeling curled-up sorry for herself... and she's indulging for now. Certainly, it's not because of one setback in her authorly career as she yowled about in her previous blog... it's because of a lifetime of soul-crushing setbacks. Still, she's moving forward, of course, as best as she can.

Authoress news and mews ~

One good thing today that resonated with the Kougar today was this truth said by another romance author ~Lifting others up as romance writers~ This is one reason this Big Cat author pens romance, and writes the kind of romance she does, because she wants to 'lift up' the reader, offer a delicious and powerful escape... and also give a vision of what life could be, and was meant to be.

Yep, the Kougar is penning on her WIP ~ Her Midnight Stardust Cowboys ~

Her Midnight Stardust Cowboys

The first six 'unedited' sentences from Chapter Twenty-Eight:

Zance felt his inner wolf hackles raise painfully in warning. "Odds?" he demanded as he whipped around to see who his mate looked at.

"You gotta call." Sherilyn grabbed his hand. "Make certain everything is okay at the ranch. With my horses."

Figuring that was his best move, Zance took hold of her arm.

Teen Age Angst And Technology Don't Mix
by Rebecca Gillan

She was sitting at the end of the coffee counter and had been most of the day. Late teens, tall, thin but with some nicely proportioned curves that would fill out beautifully when she got older. Extra-long black hair, bright blue eyes and pure white skin. She would be a show-stopper if only she’d do something with herself, Marissa thought reflectively.

There wasn’t much the girl could do about the glasses, but they were the big chunky style so in fashion these days and could be played off as hipster without much effort. The clothes the girl was wearing looked like Salvation Army rejects, but that could also be spun into a hipster look with a few adjustments.

Mars Delivers a Wake-up Call!

If you're starting to feel a bit disoriented by the dreamy, hazy Neptune/Pisces energy currently blanketing the world, then you're in for a treat this week!

On February 23, fiery Mars arrives on the scene to break up some of that fog and bring you back to reality. Mars, currently situated in no-nonsense Virgo and opposite Neptune, will act as a wake-up call, bringing problems to the forefront and allowing you to clearly see what needs to be done. Just be sure to exercise as much tact as possible -- it will be in your best interest to say what needs to be said ever so carefully. On the whole, though, this transit offers a terrific opportunity to clear the air.

Then, on February 25, after your sense of calm has been restored, Jupiter pops up in a fortunate alignment with the Sun. This bonus aspect will boost your confidence and bring extra luck your way! You may tend toward laziness under this influence ... but if you can force yourself to take action, then the luck Jupiter brings will know no bounds!

12:12 am... 12:12 pm... 4:44 pm... 5:55 pm... 8:44 pm... 10:10 pm... may the miracles we all need occur and bring us tons o' goodness...

The most powerful weapon is the human soul on fire.

~ Have a happy and magickal February ~

~ MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH ~

And, May you live the dreams of your heart, not in interesting times...

Out in the cold as usual kisses from the Kougar...
