This is Ozzy the tiny German Spitz!

He’s been curled up on my lap while I’ve been writing on my ipad today. I have now reached 42,937 words in the third book of my upcoming YA fantasy series: The Rise of Isaac. Yay! (Is this due to Ozzy’s presence? Maybe! Maybe he’s the source of all knowledge, or maybe he’s just a fluffy little dog with a lot of attitude. I’ll leave it up to you to make your interpretations from the photo.)

I sometimes jokingly refer to Ozzy as my ‘muse’. I’m not sure he really inspires my stories but he sure is cuddly and good company for an afternoon of writing!

How about you? Do you have a pet or item that is often close by when you write or read?

Thanks for reading!
