Thursday – A little Personal – Stella

~ John W. Howell

 

Stella

“Hello Reader.”

Hello, Stella. What’s up?

“You know John is out right?”

“Yes, I know. Do you need something?”

“Come in here and look at these two.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Lucy and Bailey? Looks like they are playing.”

Yeah, on my turf.”

Stella

“This is my rug and my office.”

“I thought it was John’s.”

Stella

You are joking, right? He borrows it from me.”

“Oh, I didn’t know.”

“And those two keep coming in here. Rolling around and making a mess.”

Lucy and Bailey

“It certainly looks like they are having fun.”

“I need to find someone who understands.”

Stella

“Wait, Stella. I understand your problem.”

“You do?”

Stella

“Well  then, go lay on that couch and I’ll knead your stomach”

“I really have to go.”

***

I am out of the country and will try to respond when I can.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  2. Too cute…yep, under that Thriller writer facade, there’s a writer of children’s books. Stella is the queen, she’s declared herself today. LOL 🙂 Loved the dialogue.

  5. I see you’ve left your blog in good hands, er, paws while you’re gone. You may have to borrow more than the office when you get back, John – these guys are pretty good writers. Love the photos, and I do think that’s how cats see the world.

  9. Excellent job today, John – the pictures and dialogue are terrific. It’s sweet that Stella gave you some time off!

  19. Delightful, John. 🐱 The finish with tummy-kneading made me smile. I’d forgotten about that. Crystal is not affectionate in that way (don’t get me wrong, she demands attention). Ouch!!! I remember the multi-clawed kneading. 😀 I hope you’re having a great time. Hugs.
