Writing question of the day
How on Earth am I supposed to tell someone that the cat peed on the copy of their novel manuscript I was critiquing?
Any of my writing buddies who might have an answer to this one, let me know.

Say it straight: “The cat peed on the copy of your manuscript I was critiquing.”
Blame it on someone else: “Dale peed on the copy of your manuscript I was critiquing.”
Invent a more flattering disaster: “I was reading so fast that it burst into flames!”
Invent a more interesting disaster: “A square-lip rhinoceros peed on the copy of the manuscript I was critiquing.”
Or you can do what my friend Richard did: Post about it on your blog, knowing that she’s reading.

I can’t stop laughing!
If it does happen to be my pages, um well, I do have an extra copy I can give you at group on Thursday – as long the cat is finished giving me his opinion of my novel.
