My tortie is a very antisocial cat. She only comes to pet when she’s in a mood or wants treats, doesn’t seem to like me, runs away when I pass by her. She is very easy to scare so she eats separately and if I make some noise she will run off and I will need to spend ten more minutes to get her to return to eat if I even succeed. She is overall healthy and active, plays with other two cats. Tomorrow she has her first vet appointment. I am alone and I don’t have anyone to help me grab her. While I can pick her up, she wont get inside the carrier without a fight. I don’t want to stress both of us. The carrier is open with a blanket inside all the time and all cats are okay with its existence. It’s an early morning appointment tomorrow and if I will be able I will go today evening to the vet to get her a calming pill but if I wont, I will need to do it somehow alone. Any hacks? I cant trim her nails for the same reason.

I have a draft of my novel roughly 29k words. I settled the tone and the pace after writing the 1/3 of it. Now I am absolutely dissatisfied with the beginning of the novel. It has the skeleton I need, but it doesn’t match the style after I improved. I feel like returning to the start and editing things but it’s so difficult. I rather continue writing than stop and get stuck in rewriting. My concern is that I will go too far and then it will be even harder to rewrite. Honestly I can’t explain it. Is it time? Will it help me to write? It’s my first time I am putting my thoughts on paper and I have no idea what I am doing. Help
