I’ve been told that it’s very beneficial to the whole creative process to have a writing buddy.

Someone you can bounce ideas off. Someone who will encourage you when you’re stuck.

Someone who has your back.

I have one of those.  His name is Emmett and even though he’s only three years old, he takes his job very seriously.

He knows when I’m slacking off, and won’t tolerate it for long.

If my writing is going well, he’ll distract the family so I can get more done.

Even though I dedicated my first novel, The Inheritance to him, I’d like to formally thank him for his help. We’re about to write another book and I’m going to need his help.

Thanks Buddy.  You are a good boy.

I’ll make you some chicken now.
