Does a dog help you write a novel?


Hello everyone

I read somewhere if you are an isolated writer that you should buy a dog and have the canine provide some peaceful support of your pursuit.

So I bought one. Not for this reason, but because I love dogs and have always wanted one. The only problem is I have to take her out for ablutions constantly and feed and worm and bath and clean up poos and take her to the vet, so not a lot of creative activity is going on.

I have lots of other responsibilities as well.

However the other day I finished a really short story of 600 words at the park while we were playing with our dog - so that counts.

Anyway, here's a picture of her, just for the sake of it.
