I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.

If there is no Camelot, if there is no Guinevere and no Lancelot then I’m nothing, I’m just a sad lump of misshapen wax.

IM DEAD HELP ME

                              You shall always be remembered                        in the hearts of all who yearn for freedom.

"Not well." Arcing little bolts between fingers isn’t a neat party trick — especially when on accident. “I’m guessing the only reason I can tell with you, is because I’ve been around you long enough. The association’s made, and I’ve had time to ‘digest’ your influence, take the time to read it. At first glance of a stranger, it’s little more than just background noise.”

"Sensation without full perception, then. Perhaps we should visit the shaman in Rio and see if they feel similarly.” He shrugged, “Why concern with witches, though? I thought you would be more inclined to werewolves, given your history. I told you you needn’t be concerned about your safety around these witches. I’m all but allied with them.”  ‘All but’...and getting worse, what with Kaja’s swift escape and that dreadful day, but that was something that he kept to himself.

MFA Cat Knows That Feel

We all know that writing can be hard work: our long, seemingly unproductive hours punctuated by the occasional discouraged nap. And, while perhaps the most enjoyable part of writing is the thrill of completing a piece you’ve toiled on for (weeks? months? years?), that feeling vanishes the second it’s time to…dun dun dun…turn the thing in.

Rest-assured all ye neurotic writer types, because MFA cat knows exactly how you feel. She regrets her story so much, she can’t even bear the sight of it. Look how it mocks her from the printer’s tray! This story is unspeakably trite. What possessed her to write it, let alone share it with her vastly more talented and erudite peers?!

She’ll just have to sit this workshop out.

(Of course, when viewed in reverse, this .gif presents an equally thought-provoking depiction of a cat who urgently needs to send a fax.)
