Write Anyway

*Picture from Aringsburg Kennel

For a long time now, my husband and I have wanted to get a dog. I was a bit more general on what it could be, but given I’m allergic to some cats and I just plain don’t do fish, a dog seemed the natural choice.

Did I mention that my husband has had dogs most of his life and has a particular love for German Shepherds?

The problem is where we live. There is no back yard. We’re in a small flat. We would love the dog utterly and completely, but could all that love really make up for an open back yard?

And so we’re stuck, longing for the day we can get our own place with space for a dog we can love.

Do you have a pet? If yes, what kind? If no, do you want a pet? Why or why not? Did you grow up with pets or have you never had one? Do you have an inspirational, funny, or outright strange pet stories? Do you/did you have a pet that you will forever remember fondly?

Remember, to help clear your mind before you start writing, take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sound of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Let the noises and worries of the day fade for a few moments while you focus only on breathing.

After you are calm, think about your experiences and start writing.

Wishing you heaps of creativity, a generous muse and heaps of time to write. Feel free to check in here with your progress for the day/week/month/etc.
