Oxford University Press Slush pile Challange

3/25/2014

1 Comment

 
For a cat whose only ambition in life is to break the world record for longest ever cat nap (currently held by Tabby McFlabby) Manfred is having a very successful year.

Following the long listing of  'Man Up Manfred Cat' in SCBWI's Undiscovered Voices competition the ginger hair ball has now won the latest SCBWI Slush Pile Challenge.  Next month Manfred and myself will be off to dream among the Oxford spires. We will meet the lovely Clare Witson at OUP for a meeting where, among other things,  we will discuss how Manfred might develop the relationships with his friends Goren and Arthur. 

Manfred says he'd rather not develop them at all, but I'm sure we'll talk him round... eventually.

Manfred does not appreciate having his nap time disturbed even with news of a win.

Manfred Cat here.

Apparently  'Man Up Manfred Cat,' George's story all about me, has been long listed for something called,

George is supposed to be blogging about it right now. But every time she tries she just runs around going-                                                                                                                                                                                                                          SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


So far she has 'squeeed' though my:
  • lunchtime nap
  • afternoon nap
  • late afternoon nap
  • tea time nap

So if I'm going to get any nappiness I'm just going to have to get it done for her.

I am pretty pleased about it too. Mainly because when my brother Fallacious hears he'll get his whiskers into a real wot-not. No one's ever bothered to write a book about him.



YAAAAAAAWN! That was hard work. Time for my post blog nap now.
