I finally got my writing motivation back, because I know exactly where this story is going and exactly who the characters are. So I'm going to be writing the story of my stuffed animals - from the moment Crookshanks and Betsy first met, to the changing of their names, to the kittenhoods of their children. They may not turn out as good as I want, especially Betsy's home life as a kitten, but I'll do my best. (a note on their names: Crookshanks chose his name after falling in love with the Harry Potter series, originally his mother had named him Puss after the legendary tale of Puss-in-Boots - and while, yes, I originally named him after Dreamworks' Puss-in-Boots, in this universe he's named after the original as the movie hadn't come out yet. Betsy's original name was Kitty, short for Katherine, and by total coincidence (in-universe coincidence, irl she was also named after a Dreamworks character) her last name happened to be Softpaws.) Book cover is currently temporary but do you like the texture of the bark on the tree? I could use advice on realistic tree drawing.
