So, as I write this, my kitty, Theadosia, is cleaning herself and falling asleep on one of my arms (which makes it a little hard to type at times…). As much as she can be a pain sometimes, especially when she tries to attack me, she also is the best writing companion.
I'm a person who talks a lot. I love talking to others, I talk to Thea, I talk to my fish (Clem), I talk to my many plants, and I even talk to myself. Sometimes I talk to keep myself company, especially since I live on my own, and I work in a small office with coworkers that travel a lot. Sometimes, I talk just to think through ideas just a little better. And sometimes, I talk to hear the idea out loud to make sure it sounds okay. I also talk a lot when I write. Whether it is saying out loud what I'm typing as I type, or saying dialogue I'm writing so I can hear if it sounds natural. So, having Thea around to cuddle with me is a blessing. I talk to her about what I'm writing, and she meows back. Not only that, but she keeps me calm and relaxed. When I'm relaxed, my creative juices flow better and it makes it so much easier to just write. Plus, when she's sleeping peacefully on me, I don't want to move too much and disturb her, so really, it also helps me to stop procrastinating and just let myself go crazy typing. Are you a writer? What's a companion that helps you write (or read)? Do you have a pet that keeps you company? Or maybe it's a friend that helps keep you accountable. A coffeeshop or special writing nook that gives you a great atmosphere for writing and focus could even be a "companion" of sorts for you!
