Don't know if it is worth posting challenges, but for those in a drabble mood, after this week's events, what else but ---
"Wet" t Edit for clarification (non-porn)
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

He was born to be a fluffy white Persian-type cat, but fluffy was apparently against his religion. Buddhist, on the days when he stared at fallen baby birds in confusion; Rastafarian when it came to maintenance of fur.
So, on the appointed days, at the appointed hours, the Bath. In went a dignifed--if outraged--Burmese cat. Out came--
"My god, he's a Gremlin. One of the evil ones. Look at those ears."
"I'd watch the feet. There are claws at the ends of those scary toes."
Pale blue eyes promised death, at least until the warmed towel showed up, accompanied by tuna.

Has anyone experience with Amazon's self-publishing doohickey? Apparently you send them a pdf, or maybe a .doc and they make the .pdf, and they help you get an ISBN and list you on Amazon. Then, when someone buys your book, they print it out.
I'm so into cover art, and book feel and size and shape (porn) that I'm dubious, but it may be a YouTube sort of thing for books.

Aaaaugh! I have to write a blurb about Gothic Charm School, for my agent to include in the newsletter the agency sends to publishing houses. I, predictably, am drawing a blank on what to say.

scribbles notes.
Okay, "Witty and elegant". I have no idea what to come up with for an opening. I'm trying to think of it like a drabble exercise, because it shouldn't be more than 200 words.

Witty and elegant, hip, but never too cool for the room, Jilli Venters' Gothic Charm School column has been a well-loved addition to the Goth internet since(whenever) and keeps its Mistress buried in e-mail month after month.
