Cat Writing Is Totally A Real Profession, Says this Dallas Conference
Had I known that "cat writer" was a legit title I wouldn't be here, chained to this newsroom desk. I'd be out in the wild grabbing life by the scruff. Chasing my dreams like they were goddamn laser pens on curtains.
I'd bask in Internet sunbeams and let that money pour in.
But the CWA's 20th Annual Cat Writer's Conference happens in Irving next weekend, and is completely real. Now, I question everything.

This is the 20th Annual Cat Writer's Conference. 20 years. That was the dial-up era, at best. Back when cats were just a twinkle in the Internet's eye, CWA dug its claws in and waited. Now for its two-decade anniversary "Cat Writing: Reinventing Yourself for the Digital Age," offers fledgling and established cat writers opportunities to visit with "top names in the field of pet communications," and maybe make a little money off of all that cat erotica, slam poetry and Garfield fanfiction they've been drafting.

It is a shame that the weekend that is picked for the conference coincides with Homecoming at my alma mater; otherwise, I would attend the event. 
= new reply since forum marked as read
but I already made reservations for the Homecoming festivities and it's the first time in over six decades that we'll have a football game. There is also a friend's 40th birthday party to attend in Austin on Friday night. If I had known about the conference before hand...
at the costume party this weekend.
