This may not be an experience shared by every reader of this website but I find the company of my cat sometimes assists with copy writing. There is a certain sense of encouragement to be found in a furry form at the other side of the kitchen table though, of course, attempts to "help" by extending a friendly paw in the direction of the keyboard tend to lead to greater numbers of typos and may lead to unusual colours on any given copy...
But then again, for those of us who - all too easily -allow work to extend into playtime or put the daily grind beore eating, perhaps a gentle reminder of what is important is no bad thing.
