Okay, this is going to sound really odd... possibly. I need a cat. I mean... I need a picture of a close-up of a Siamese. Chocolate Point (rustling through notes) ... nope, sorry... Blue Point.

Has to be REALLY good quality and 'traceable' as in I know exactly who took the picture so I can give them proper credit.

Either that or someone in the Portland area HAS a Blue Point that i can take pictures of...

Wanna know why?

I wrote a story... a BIG story (in the 8.5/11 page format, it's currently 158 pages, which will translate to just under 400 by the time i format it for printing). It has a cat... more specifically a rather LARGE Blue Point Siamese. I am working through the editing right now and want to get it done so I can have a hard copy to present to someone for their graduation in June.

I'm self-publishing it, it's science fiction, and yes, the cat plays a large part in the plot. Some of his antics i pulled (using creative license, of course) from some of the wilder antics of our TCS felines (someone whose name starts with a number comes to mind).

So, I need a cat... or a picture of a cat. in focus, front-facing, eyes open.

Yes, I volunteer at a shelter, but there's no guarantee I'll get a Meezer there in time. This image will grace, if I'm good enough at this, the front cover of said novel. Hence the need for it to be a really good quality image.

Anyone out there with a Blue Point Meezer and a good digital camera?

Please?


Must get back to editing... argh!!!

Talk to Gayef (Mod) or Evinea in Breeder's corner ... I'm sure they'll be able to help you out!

Darn, WHO could that be?


I think Yosemite's Bijou is a blue point. Check with her.

Thanks everyone... I also got a PM from someone else... I'll be contacting a few mentioned here by PM as well... once i wake up (I work closing shift tonight at the store, so I got to sleep in... urgh).

I've considered posting the first chapter online somewhere... I think I need to tweak it a bit though... so it matches better with the rest of it... good editing intentions don't last very long... tried to put it in one tense, but lost that within a couple of chapters... very hard to do... esp. since most fiction writers don't set their tenses that way (in present... too many tenses, leads to frustration). Enough writer talk. Maybe I'll put a snippet up in Paws and Reflect... during our TGIO party for the writing thing (NaNoWriMo, where insane people try to write a novel in 30 days), some of us upted to read a couple pages to the party... I read mine, as rough as it was... and they liked it...

8-Bits' inspirational part just came to me... and it is in the section I'd post here... the first chapter doesn't scream SciFi, but the rest of it is...

Anyway, back to waking up... Once i get the laundry going, I'll work on the first chapter and then post it...

Amanda

(edit: I posted in the Creative Writing Thread in P&R... there's a link in there for the first chapter, which has my Ode to 8-Bit)
