Storyteller's Journey

          Satisfying the Scribe

I've heard writers mention many things that they really need to do their craft: a certain music, a computer with two screens, a certain software, inspiring knick-knacks in their work area, and on and on. I have something different in mind...

It has been three years since our little dog, Robin, passed away. Our whole family was understandably shaken by our loss. Following her death, my husband boldly stated that he never wanted another pet. (I knew that his comment came from his desire to never again experience the pain we all endured.)

Last Saturday we attended a lovely dinner party at the home of our friends - Kevin and Kristy. They have a wonderful black rescue dog, named Jackson. Whenever I'm around an affectionate (and well-mannered) dog I melt. The thing is, Michael connected with Jackson too. I think there may be a crack in his no-pet policy - it's time to renegotiate. Wish me luck...a dog is what will satisfy this scribe!

I would love to hear about your pet - or any other special items 
that add to your comfort and inspiration while you're writing!
