Writer Support

[grayarcadian]

 My husband is also a creative type.  Writing, digital art, role-playing games...

It's not easy to have more than one of these per household.

He's been on his own project and it has not been going as well as he'd like.  We're talking deep frustration here.  I'm trying to work on my writing as well - which the internet slows has been affecting, keep office hours for my students, communicate with parents, and keep the house cleaned up.  Quarantine has been pretty good time-wise, but all the traffic in the house has increased the daily use and maintain item count.

And I tweaked my back.  Joy.

But we had a conversation that went something like this:

Me:  "I feel that only one of us should be on a project at a time, based on how things have been going."

Gavin:  "How can I support you?"

Me:  "What do I do for you  while on a project?"

Gavin:  "Maintain the house.  Poke at people to get their part done.  Take away my dishes.  Feed me.  Get me something to drink...But mostly, you let me have my space."

Me:  "Unless you are at a good window where you want to info dump all the awesome things you have been doing.  Yeah."
