Sharon my love...

[keilexandra]

This makes me want to call Sharon and ask if I can write about her cockatiels. :O An excerpt from

ivoryink:

Write one paragraph each describing a horse, a dog, and a cat. Don't mention the animal portrayed and avoid anthropocentric assumptions of thoughts and emotions. Try to engage all the senses: let the reader pet the beast with you, for instance. If you have animals around, observe and describe them in detail. Otherwise, rely on pictures. Don't worry about being "pretty," only precise. [195-196 Novakovich, Fiction Writer's Workshop]

(Not an exact quote, since I added some of my own clarification.)
