I’m Seamus – Welcome to a Day in my Life! I’ll be posting while my mom is busy writing for NaNoWriMo. That’s my humanoid sister, Caitlin, holding me. First, I get up very early, before the sun. Here I am in my comfy crate/dog cave. How come mom isn’t as happy to see me as […]
Read MoreDo you NaNoWriMo? Starting Monday, Nov. 3, I will be seated at this table, participating in National Novel Writing Month. I’m looking forward to it.
