#WordWeavers 13 - What animal would you like as a muse and why?

I have an owl statuette (pic below) right beside my laptop. It perches on two books, and my mother bought it for me because she believed it would help bring me inspiration. I don't know if it does, but I like having it around, look into its big eyes when I'm stuck.

So, yeah, I guess I'd choose the owl, Athena's symbol. Not a bad animal, I'd say!

 @66e742bb I have a brass owl in the living room and a small, plushy owl that sits on my desk (he's named Yuba after an owl character). Owls don't put up with excuses, I've discovered. They're taskmasters. 😆
