A Little Bit Of This & A Little Bit Of That

Today's blog post is full or random tidbits and oddities. There's something for crazy cat ladies, people who like to watch big machinery, and the rest of you who are just want to waste some time on the internet.

Let's start off with the crazy cat ladies (and gents). I loved this video about why humans are obsessed with cats. Did they infect us with a disease that makes us adore them? Is it their big eyes? Or have they perfected some sort of mind control? Click on the video below to find out the answer or click on this link.

Susan Flett Swiderski left a comment on my blog post about removing a mast from a sailboat telling me that orchestrated dance numbers of big machines is a thing. To be honest, I was a little dubious at first, but, after a bit of Googling, I soon discovered it was true. And it's not only true, it's a fascinating way to procrastinate the day away.

This video reminds me of a ballet (click here if the video doesn't work).

This one is a more upbeat dance number (click here if the video doesn't work).

Oh, you're back! I figured you would have been lost down the black hole of YouTube by now.

Did you know that I have another blog? If you're really in need of some more ways to procrastinate, hop on over and check out my "Publishing a Cozy Mystery" series. It will give you the scoop on the good, bad, and the ugly in my author journey:

• Cover Design—Determining what kind of cover fits your genre, preparing a design brief, and DIY cover design.
• Draft #743—How I went from a blank sheet of paper to finalizing a draft to send to my beta readers, as well as how long the whole process took. {Spoiler alert: It took quite a while.}
• Beta Readers—What beta readers are, how I found mine, what kind of feedback I asked them for, and processing their feedback and making changes to my manuscript.
• Going Indie—Why I decided to self-publish rather than go down the traditional publishing route.

Okay, here's one last cute cat video. Cause, you can never really have too many cat videos. (Click here.)

What fun videos have you found on YouTube (G-rated only, please)?
