I'm sorry this is late, guys. I've been on a blogging break and this completely snuck up on me this morning. Anyway, hubs is having knee surgery today and so he's taking the day off work and was at home to answer my questions. So we're a little bit late, but here goes...
What food or drink is guaranteed to return me to a good mood, even after a bad day of writing?
A glass of red wine. (No, I'm not a lush, I swear!)
What one thing would you change about my writing habits?
The early-early morning writing sessions. (Apparently I wake him up some mornings when I get up to write at three a.m. However, I slept in until seven-thirty today, and he didn't like that either because he wondered what was wrong. Hmphhh.)
How hard is it to sit by and watch me struggle to attain a dream, knowing there's very little you can do to help?
It's very difficult because there's so little I can do about it. I know you love what you do, but I wish you would be given the opportunity to achieve your ultimate dream: getting published. (Even though he thinks he can't help much, he really does. First and foremost, he supports my being a stay-at-home mom, which in itself is a lot of work, but also affords me a lot of writing time I wouldn't otherwise have. He also reads and honestly critiques any of my work that I ask him to, which is a tremendous help and so appreciated!)
Do you ever wish I'd just give up and do something else?
Not unless you found something else to do that you liked as much. (Thanks, honey!)
So there you have it. Sorry so short, I apologize for letting this sneak up on me like I did! Hubs even said he would have written his own post had I given him time to work on it. Guess that goes to show you we can't assume what other people would or would not do!
Have a great Friday everyone!

He reads and critiques your work? That's awesome! Best wishes for that knee surgery. Have a great weekend, Susan!
First, love the picture of the two of you. Second, hope his knee surgery is successful and not painful AND he's up and around better than normal very soon. Third, what a supportive husband--how blessed you are! I know he feels the same about you :)
Aww, that is sweet. I hope his knee recovers quickly.
My husband reads and edits my writing too. He is my first reader and he's excellent. We are blessed to have good men. :)
Have a lovely weekend,
Lola
Oh what a dreamboat!!!!! He's lovely!! Awwwww!!!!
I hope he gets better soon so he'd get your more wine! :-) Take care

Awww, I've seen so many awesomely supportive husbands, I swear my heart is busting! Thank God for such sweet SO's. I hope yours get over his knee surgery soon.
Wine is great!! Best of luck with the hubs surgery. It' great you still participated. Let us know how he does.
Awwww....what a cute couple you make! I had my knee "scoped" this summer, so I can relate to his situation. It's great that he helps critique your work, that really comes in handy.
I'm also thinking that maybe I need to start drinking more wine! :)
Thank you so much for joining in the fun today!
Hope Scott's surgery goes smoothly!! He was very sweet to contribute, and it speaks volumes that he has helped you be a stay at home mom!
I saw a sign at yoga the other day for a "couple's yoga class" where the man and woman (or whatever combo) do yoga and then some kind of touchy/feely "connection" exercises. Do you think I should sign Wayne and me up? (hearty laugh here that only you will understand since he is your cousin!!!!!!).
Aw, he's totally sweet and amazing. You guys look great together! And I hope that Scott's surgery goes well.
That's amazing that he critiques your work! I hope he has a speedy recovery! :o)

I like his answers - brief and to the point.
Lucky all round, I'd say! A man that also gives you time to write!? That is special. TGW

Always,
Lindsey

My significant other
He not only reads your work, he helps critique it? Wow, that's amazing! :) He's definitely a keeper.
What a fun blogfest and what a cute picture of you two!
Glad to learn a little more about you from someone else's view!
adorable picture...and great answers. he's a keeper.
Love the photo. I don't know if I have one of hubbers and I together...not recently anyhow.
Oooooh, staying at home sounds like such a dream! Jealous.
What a wonderful, lovely post! It's so great to see his perspective.
I'm an early morning writer, too.
I hope your husband's knee surgery is successful.
Great post. Have a great weekend.
What a sweet picture. He looks like a very nice guy. :)
Best wishes for the surgery! This might be short, but it says so much, it's awesome!
I'm glad you've got such a supportive guy. It's good to see you're back for a post.
Its always great to get to know bloggers better, especially though their better half's eyes. I can relate to the early hours of writing, then sleeping in. Just comes woth the territory. Our significant others may not unerstand, but it just is what it is and we writers simply go with it. Great post.
Oh, great pic of you too!
Lovely. Just lovely!
Your husband reminds me of someone I know. If you know what I mean? :)
What a beautiful couple you are! You're husband must love you so much to be so supportive and and caring. I'm happy for you!

Hope the surgery went well. Glad he could participate.
I hadn't seen this blogfest before! I really like it. You have a wonderful and supportive husband. Mine is supportive too, but will not read what I write. Oh well.
What a great idea! I hope the knee surgery went well.
What a sweet picture! And he sounds very supportive (and is your ideal reader-bonus!).
Aw! You guys are so cute!
You wake up at 3am? Really? That is so so early!!! How do you do it?
How sweet, Susan! It does help to know that you have the support of the home base when you're pursuing a dream, doesn't it? :-)
Aw! Lovely photo! Hope his knee is feeling better now, and that he's recovering well.
Thanks for taking part in the blogfest! :)
So sweet! What a great photo!
Thank goodness for supportive spouses! He sounds wonderful, and you guys are cute together. My husband is right there for me, too, and it makes all the difference in the world--on good days and bad ones.
I hope your husband's knee feels better soon. :)
Awww, what a lovely interview! Scott is a sweetie....I hope he recovers from his surgery soon.
You have a pretty great husband my friend :) Hope he recovers soon!
Awww...that is really sweet. Hope his knee surgery went well. :)
