By saying it, it has now become a thing.
Going cross-eyed. Spent half the day writing and rewriting a query. Something is wrong when you spend that much time to answer the simple quetion: what is the story about

This idea may suck. I have never written a query and have only a general idea what they are for. So feel free to me if you like.
Close, but we probably need to mention there are people in the book. I suggest adding: "It has characters. They are fascinating."
It takes 2 people besides yourself. Give the story to someone, have them read it. Then ask them to send an email to someone who has not read the story and tell them about it so they are interested enough to read it. Have the second person use that email to do the same for you. Kind of an operator game.
With luck, this will filter out all the cool stuff you as the writer want to say that only clogs things up and only the bare bones will remain. You can use that skeleton to make your query.
And why is it that the smaller the cat, the louder the voice?
My sisters cat was "special." The pee thing was not a matter of "oops, I couldn't hold it" it was definitely, "you pissed me off, now you will pay".
Little boy cat is horribly fastidious.
Actually, both cats are very good about not going anywhere but the box. Never had the pee problem.
Do have the "Oh hey, here's a small thing on this table. I wonder what it sounds like when it hits the floor?" problem though.
As well as the "If I do something bad, she'll come and pay attention to me" problem.
That's not special.
That's being a psychotic b****.

It got to the point that when she started toward the bedroom, everyone ran to catch her. You knew what she was gonna do.
Yeah, well, I agree, and I believe that that particular description was used fairly frequently. I was just trying not to use such language. I have been reading recent threads on Making Light and Whatever about such language, so I am more sensitive to it than usual.
Oh wow, I think I own your sister's cat.
