As an aspiring writer, I find myself spending a lot of time alone in my room. I write best in near quiet, usually on my bed, by hand in one of my many many notebooks, but sometimes on my laptop. I need the quiet in order to hear the voices of my characters telling me what happens next. This means that I spend a lot of time away from my family and the heart of the house.
Writing can be a lonely process. I have to have a day-job to pay the bills, so I don't get to see my family during the day. Then I spend the evening writing and researching (or getting distracted by the internet while attempting to write or research - let's be honest). So it's nice to have a companion. Wiley Coyote is a total snuggle bug and loves to just sit next to me while I work. He's quiet and gentle, but his constant presence is reassuring. I'd love to be able to curl up on the couch downstairs and hang out with my family while creating new worlds, but at least I don't have to go through this whole writing process completely alone.
