Magazine picture

            Look, a creative writing blog again! The only thing is, I don’t have any magazines lying around to look at a picture from (I’m not into magazines). So, I can just get a picture from the internet, right? Oh boy. I looked up “magazine page 10” on Google Images. This was the second picture and there is no way I cannot do this one:

 

            Mr. Vestler had finally published his first novel! He was ecstatic. After 40 years of writing, editing, and submitting his 527 page manuscript only to be turned down, he had finally found a publishing company that would take it.

            Mr. Vestler could tell that the other publishing companies did not even get to page 100 of his manuscript. They dismissed it before Tabitha, the tabby cat and main character of the story, had even witnessed the murder. Then there was all the drama and tension that came from Tabitha trying to communicate the crisis to her owner. How could they dismiss the love affair Tabitha was having with Tommy, the wild and daring cat? That started on page 28. Surely the publishing company had made it that far and were curious how it would end up. But when Mr. Vestler asked one of the companies that rejected him about it, they said that the romance was “absurd and nauseating.” They just did not understand.

            But Everything Cats Inc. did. Sure, they were a small company, but Mr. Vestler knew that they would get his genius novel into the hands of those who would appreciate them. He was especially excited when they told him that the back cover would be a picture of him and his own cat—Miss Fuzzy Fur. Miss Fuzzy Fur was more than just a pet to Mr. Vestler; she was his inspiration. Tabitha was loosely based on Miss Fuzzy Fur. Not in looks, but in the way she thought, acted, and moved. Mr. Vestler could spend hours just watching her and days talking with her. He even dedicated the novel to her.

 

I forgot how much fun creative writing is! I love being ridiculous. :)
