Being a Writer and Pet Parent...with Megan Slayer

I'm a vocal pet person. I love cats, dogs, bunnies... well, you get the idea. I need critters around my house because they keep me sane.

I've got three dogs and three cats. To say the least, it's a zoo. But I love them. I do. I've always said I have a soft spot for critters with issues. One cat thinks he's a dog. One cat hates...everyone...sometimes even me. The third cat I'm pretty sure doesn't have any bones in his body. He's liquid. One dog, the water dog, is deathly afraid of water. Another dog swears she's a person and she's the mother of my kid. Then there's my shadow dog. If I'm not there, she's not happy. She's got serious separation anxiety.

So now you might be wondering what all of this has to do with writing. Sometimes I wonder, too.

Okay, no. I know, but bear with me.

I'm sitting here trying to decide what to write about. I mean, I'm a writer. I have ideas. I have characters talking to me. Writing shouldn't be hard.

Now factor in critters. One dog wants me to pet him. Another wants to sit on the cushion RIGHT next to me. He breathes on the computer and plugs the fan. Okay... gotta move. I head to the desk. One cat wants to sit behind me on the office chair. So much for proper posture. Another cats wants to knock EVERYTHING down because he's not getting attention and/or fed on his time. The third cat shows up just to sleep on the desk beside the computer because he has to keep me company. I don't mind him being there. He sheds all over everywhere, but it's not that big of a deal.

Enter the dogs. The one who can't live without me has to stroll by and toot before she jumps onto the couch in the office. The second one wants to chase the cat sleeping by the computer. Growls, howls and hissing ensues. Third dog strolls by, leaving a stench trail, before she heads upstairs to sleep on the landing.

Now I'm supposed to write characters having sex. Hmm. I'm pretty sure I'll have to let the room air out and a few critters go to sleep before I get anything written.

Such is the glamorous life of a writer.
