If you're looking for a cat, pls consider adopting one with cerebellar hypoplasia. CH cats need a bit more help, but they're wonderful.

reminder for querying authors that you owe it to yourself and to your work to be choosy. you do not have to query everyone. and you probably shouldn't. if someone is behaving unprofessionally on Twitter, they're probably not behaving much different in private negotiations. #amwriting #querying
