SPAL: Today is What’s your nosh Tuesday.
HB: Again?
SPAL: Yes. Today is that day where we help promote new and Indie authors’ published work or something they’re working on from their WIPS. 
HB: But we’re supposed to get some nosh in return for this, guys. We like cheese. We’d like to try some chocolate. And we lover watermelon.
SPAL:***looks out to the blogosphere*** Please ignore my brother. He’s stupid and rude.
HB: Well, you’re a pansy, pansy-boy.
SPAL: Anyway, we’ve got one of Mummsy’s critters today. Mummsy calls her the Grammar Angel from her writing group.
SPAL: Is that all you ever think about?
HB: ***smiles***
SPAL: Just behave. I see her coming.
HB: Where?
SPAL: The pretty blonde lady.
HB: She is purdy. Can I hug her leg?
SPAL: That’s not what you do though. You’re a humper. Don’t you dare! ***he looks up*** Please nice people welcome Janet Rockey.
HB: ***hugs her leg*** We’re very happy to see you.
SPAL: ***removes HB from her leg*** I apologize, Miss Janet. ***he looks at HB***Do you want timeout?
HB: ***he frowns and puts his tail between his legs***
SPAL: ***he turns and faces Miss Janet*** I’m so sorry. This is supposed to be a professional interview. Let us proceed. Do tell us what you like to snack on when you're writing? Tell me why you like it.
JR: I don't nosh while I'm writing because I don't want sticky, greasy, and/or orange computer keys from the Cheetos (cheese that goes crunch!).
HB: ***gasps*** No treats. No cookies. No chocolate. No nosh?!
SPAL: Every one is different.
JR: I find eating a distraction.
HB: OMG! I can’t believe this. Absolutely, no nosh!
SPAL: ***shh*** Sorry again, Miss Janet. Just ignore him. He’s got food issues if you haven’t figured that out. So please tell me, do you have any published books out there?
JR: Yes!
SPAL: That is wonderful. What are they?
JR: They are all anthologies.

HB, I'm with you... Angel food cake is delicious. Love the interview. Best of luck to you, Janet!
ReplyDeleteHair Ball loves cake when he can get away with it.
DeleteWOW! Janet's written lots of stuff PLUS this amazing lady is your Grammar Angel from your writing group? You are soooo lucky...
ReplyDeleteDo these two EVER think about other things besides nosh? LOL.
Yes. She is one busy lady and great with grammar. Hair Ball thinks about food 24/7. Sir Poops does sometimes.
DeleteSo cute that I tweeted. Angel food is delicious with fresh strawberries. 'jus saying. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely are.
DeleteYou're very busy, Janet! Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteHairball, of course, has a one track... well, two track mind.
I think about other things, too.
DeleteHair Ball
Oh dear, more cat stories. Sounds like Sir William might be meeting his soul mate. Love the last photo. Sooo cute! Kisses and peanuts to HB and Poopsie. Nibbles from Fiona!
ReplyDeleteJanet writes the best cat stories, too.
DeleteNo nosh - funny!!!
ReplyDeleteNope. Hair Ball is sad. :(
DeleteThat is the cutest picture of them in the box!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on all of the anthologies. That's awesome.
These two will do anything for treats.
DeleteI love the box idea. Nice to meet someone who writes about cats. Oh, boy to I have enough material here!
ReplyDeleteI sitll have not sent you my nosh bit yet. I'm ashamed to say I don't nosh much either! But the fluids, I do. Maybe I'll give you something in a few days.
Hugs!xxx
No problem.
DeleteGreat interview!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you, Janet, with all your anthologies. :)
Thank you, Golden.
DeleteSir Poops and Hair Ball
VERY gracious of the dogs to allow such a cat-sentric post for What's Your Nosh. Very gracious, indeed... :-)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Janet!
You think so? I, Sir Poops, love kitties. I was raised by them. That's why I'm smart and Hair Ball is stupid.
DeleteI also try not to eat anything greasy by my computer...but I don't find eating and writing distracting...just messy sometimes LOL...However, if it's a meal that won't cause my fingers to be all icky, I'll go for it...
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post!
Thank you, Miss Beth.
DeleteSir Poops and Hair Ball
SPAL and HB are truly unique interviewers!
ReplyDeleteYes. They are. Hair Ball being the most interesting of the two.
