Husbands…
I KNOW!
Er, wives…
(ducks and runs for cover.)
No, hang on a minute. Why should I? Works both ways, dunnit?
Totally applicable to any family member. They should undergo training for being partnered with a writer. Step one, don’t come home early without prior warning!
Back in the days when I had a young family I used to do all my writing at dead of night when everyone else was in bed. I particularly remember one summer night when I got so carried away that dawn was breaking before I stopped.
I can’t do either anymore. Write in the small hours (brain turns to mush), or get carried away like that. Sigh…
I know, right?
Same here, I’m afraid: *I can’t concentrate so I’ve come to talk to you*
It’s an outrage! And then I have to pretend to be interested in what happened at some meeting! 😱
Mine just stomped out because I didn’t stop typing, which didn’t have anything to do with I want to get in with my WIP while interest is still being shown. No, it was ignorance.
I have to answer inane questions about what we need from the shops while my MC is hanging off a crumbling cliff waiting for me to find an escape…
So that’s eggs, milk, helicopter, rope…
@johnalty THat made me laugh!!
Ha @johnalty 🙂 My solution is for husband to go away for a month at a time. Space in marriage is much underestimated 🙂
