Give it a Whirl Day 13

Today's prompt was 'describe sad' and I've got to say... it doesn't get much sadder than this.

Oh noooo - is your kitty sick? Hope not, hope that's just the 'sleepy middle distance cat stare' mine does sometimes.

[asphaltcowgrrl]

Thankfully, no, she's not sick. She was just giving me the feline equivalent of 'puppy dog eyes' but I appreciate the concern!

Oh, good. Sometimes mine will give me a similar look - slightly squintier - and I'll worry she's not feeling well or is bored. Then I'll realize... 'nope, she's just 2.5 seconds from falling asleep again.' :)

Cute icons - I like the effect.

I know what you mean, especially after losing Buddy like we did. She's a healthy and happy girl and that's exactly what she was doing - settling down for nap #138768 of the day. :D

Thanks! I love playing with the PS filters. :)

Aw!!! He needs a wug hug!!

So we can do art for these too? I didn't realize that. Cool!

Thanks! She's such a sweetheart (when she wants to be, hahaha!).

I think so? Most say '100 words or 1 graphic' (or they did in the beginning). The beauty of K and H is that they don't generally care as long as we're creating. :)

I was going to write something and then I saw the crazy pants lying on the footstool last night, looking like she'd lost her best friend.

That's one of the things I love about this comm, in addition to everybody being so nice and friendly: all these lovely challenges and the freedom to do as we choose with them.

Agreed. I can't tell you how many times I've said, "Not sure this fits the challenge but here it is" and I get a "YOU'RE AWESOME THIS TOTALLY WORKS" from someone. Too many comms get hung up on the *rules* and forget that they're to promote creativity.

Or the fact that they seem to love any amount of words! It doesn't matter to them rather we make our goals or not -- as long as we're CREATING! And that's a great feeling!! =) I can't tell you the number of times I've been down on myself for not getting as many words as I felt I should have only to have them cheer me up and on!

Exactly! And it really, truly is. That's really and truly the best part of this comm - you feel like you've failed and they give you ten reasons why you succeeded. It's a great boon to your creativity to know that it's supported no matter what.
