I started this blog almost two years ago simply as a place to post the flash fiction and occasional poetry written in response to prompts at other sites. ShiftnShake is a place of literary art.

No, that’s not a cat picture. It’s a picture of my sourdough starter that’s next to a cat. That sourdough starter is the other organism that lives in my household now, one that last weekend competed for my time and attention with the characters in my head who wanted me to write; it won.

Thank you Marcia. So glad you read on to see it really isn’t about the cat.( I just used her as bait.)
Have a great Sunday.

You can’t chase me off with a cat, you know. I live with FOUR of them, and generally consider them a higher life form than many people I’ve met. 😀 I’m one of those schmucks who can’t pass up a funny cat or dog video, so I’m pretty much hopeless. BUT. I did like how you cleverly used this one as a lure to get your point across to the widest audience possible. Well played! 😀 😀 😀
