My parents have decided that my talent in writing is worth the gamble of them financing my trip to the Cat Writers’ Conference next month in New York! I am so over-the-moon excited about the possibility of sitting down with editors, agents and publishers and getting my manuscript at least considered! It is a guidebook for people to take that scared kitten or cat out of the bushes and bring it into the house safely. I can’t believe that they are willing to do this, and I hope I do not let them down. I am scared to travel all that way from Mike and the kitties, but my friend Hailey will be here to help out with the cats while I am gone. I will leave Nov. 18th and come home on the 21st!

When the conference was in San Francisco, it was more economically feasible to go to that one but since they moved it to New York it has been out of reach.
