I give a little bit of the plot away, or else I can barely share anything of what's going on with my story... The joy of ideas coming to you and why am I still pulling myself away from my keyboard??!!

Day 3 and I'm already struggling! Why I brought in a scene where a cat goes missing, changing character names and hey, I hit 5,000 words!
