#wordweavers May 26. What childhood similarities do your MC and antagonist share?

In "In The Eye of The Beholder," my now-long ago debut novel, Claire and François are cousins. So, they grew up in fairly similar circumstances.

Honestly, in the other books, about the only thing they have in common is being alive at the same time.

I'm sure most of you have seen the #manvsbear thing by now. If you're in any way unclear on why women choose the bear, watch this; it's a literal voicemail message. #creepy

sharonecathcart, 17 days ago to Horses

One of the horses mentioned in the whistleblower report was my favorite schoolhorse, Maisey, whom I rode regularly 20-ish years ago when I was training in dressage. I also rode two other horses mentioned, Jack and Abby. Maisey was the last mount I had; my doctors made me quit riding due to back issues and my final time in the saddle was 14 years ago with her. (The anniversary was yesterday)

I have been sobbing real tears over the neglect and overwork that these senior #horses experienced at Golden Gate Park.

Many people don't believe it when I tell them, but I was into the whole punk and goth thing in my younger days. One of my former classmates said I was giving off Eldergoth Vibes (TM) as far back as high school, whether I knew it or not.

I now work in a conservative industry, and it's been a long time since I put on the black lipstick ... but I have to tell you, the first two vinyl albums that hit the turntable once it was set up late last year were by the Sex Pistols and Lords of the New Church. I kept all of my LPs and singles over the years.

Apparently, the Eldergoth still lives. ;-)

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 22: If someone were to write your autobiography, who would you want to write it?

If it's an autobiography, obviously I'd be doing it myself. I'm laughing a bit at this prompt, to be honest.

I've already dabbled in memoir, first with "Les Pensees Dangereuses," then "Music, Mayhem, and Bad Decisions," and finally "Hugs and Hisses."

You'll find all of those here: https://books2read.com/ap/RJo3MO/Sharon-E-Cathcart

#writephant A4 What helps cheer you up after a particularly bad day?

I listen to #music I love, pet my #cats, and maybe do some #knitting.

About a month ago I kind of disappeared from this place. Some personal and family problems threw me out of the writing headspace and keep me busy. Patience is required of which I don't have much. Nothing dangerous though, don't worry. I'm slowly getting back into the writing, at least with microfic.
I think I'll be back in June with a different story, more gritty, fitting my mood. 😉
Eventually I'll find the energy to interact here again.

Seen on my way home: a Tesla Wanktank customized with flames.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

Like, dude, what is the point? Do you think that someone's going to challenge you to race for pinks?

#WordWeavers 21Do you consider how your MC's appearance may contribute to stereotypes?

Honestly? No. The antagonist/villain is always where I worry about perpetuating stereotypes ... so I try very hard not to do so.

#WritersCoffeeClub Day 21: Do you format as you write or do that at the end?

I do it at the end. That's pretty close to the literal last step for me.
