Will Write For Kittens

So here's what I wrote:

Kittens, huh?

I like kittens.

Maybe I should write THE KITTEN CASE in here. That would be... amusing as fuck, actually. I could keep track of how many kittens were rough matches for Arlo, and what percentage. Yeah, that'd up my productivity.

Of course, there's no formatting options in here. Which could be a problem, given me and my italics fetish.

Also, do I really need more kitten-based distractions, given that the real-life kitten is squeaking near-constantly this morning? He wants to go OUT, and while I might care that it's snowing, he doesn't. He doesn't see any reason at

OMG that's so cute!

I foresee this requiring considerable editing, if used as an actual production tool, if only to go through and remove the kitten evaluation comments. Also, I don't think it would be suitable for the gritty spy novels; it's just not conducive to maintaining the right mood, somehow. ;-) But unlike Write Or Die, I do actually find it encouraging rather than annoying.
