Less stress all around. <br /><br />My husband is very supportive of my writing, but he just doesn't "get" the time it takes to do what I do. We joke about it sometimes, but I still feel a little pressure to produce ($$) for all the time I spend at my computer. I'm working on it.<br /><br />Thanks for encouraging me, Jen!<br />Hugs and blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-81413458539438552152011-02-10T07:26:45.018-06:002011-02-10T07:26:45.018-06:00Though he's never said it in so many words, I ...Though he's never said it in so many words, I suspect my husband doesn't like my writing either. He reads non-fiction and I write fantasy. He'll read what I write and critique it, but he's never pretended that my work is something he'd pick up on his own to read in his spare time.

I love your delightful description of the conflict and am glad the boxing gloves are off again. :)<br /><br />It just goes to show that people... including husbands, agents, and the general public... don't all appreciate the same kind of writing. Even when we're published there is a section of the public who will never choose to read our genre. We don't have to love what everyone writes as long as we're supportive of each other's writing efforts, and I'm sure you and your DH are happy with each other's successes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-57203852084880531232011-02-09T16:10:59.087-06:002011-02-09T16:10:59.087-06:00Hi Jen,

My husband and I are opposites, so although he will say he likes my poems, he has confessed to liking the kind of poetry that jumbles words, basically makes no sense to me at all. I rarely write poems that don't rhyme, and that's just not his thing, but He's the one that encouraged me to create a blog. So I press on...<br /><br />I liked your post, it made me laugh and smile.<br />God bless YouWalk In Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771576315871776572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-17545232599610298252011-02-09T15:44:15.319-06:002011-02-09T15:44:15.319-06:00That is just too funny - you both write but don...That is just too funny - you both write but don't like each other's writing style.

Dang, isn't marriage a give and take contract??? Heeehehe!!!<br /><br />I just had to laugh at your slide across the floor statement. I keep my utility floor super slick. I have a purpose for it. Each time Hubs leaves the house he says, "I'm leavin' now." I shout, "hang on" then run down the hall, hit the utility room floor in socks of course, slide into Hubs arms and kiss his face goodbye. It's just one of those wild and crazy thing we do. :o)<br /><br />God bless ya and have a most marvelous day sweetie!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-69429533709596779432011-02-09T15:05:00.943-06:002011-02-09T15:05:00.943-06:00Love your honesty, Jeanette!

So when I don't make a "profit" after so many years of writing, he questions my sanity.
