Convincing Your SO....
Grogtard:
So who has had this problem? Convincing your significant other that writing is work.
SO: "Honey, can you (fill in blank with non-time sensitive chore)?"
Me: "I'm working."
SO: "I thought you were just writing."
Sigh.....
Matrix Refugee (formerly Morraeon):
Yep, that happens to me all the time. I've found my best shot at not being interrupted is in the evening when my mom is reading.
Cyclone Jack:
Nah. I've been serious about the scribbling since my early teens. I wouldn't be with anyone who didn't take it just as seriously. :)
skaoi:
my hubby ROCKS. he is so understanding. if anything, i abuse his good will. we had about a month or so where i was completely ignoring my fair share of the domestic chores and he finally stepped up, politely cleared his throat and looked around before looking back at me.
communication is important. he knows i would rather be writing and editing more than almost anything else, and he makes sure i get as much time as he and our daughters can spare. he's so awesome.
;D

spouse gone (X), kids gone(at least physically if not financially), write all I want.
THEN boom my blue merle sheltie has taken it into his head to be my "writing timer". At some unknown point in the evening he will race in from where-ever he's been sleeping and take a five foot leap into my arms on the laptop. First it always scares me, 2nd his nails punch into my stomac and last and most irritating one of his paws inevibly hits a button or something that tosses the laptop into "panicked and locked down mode". Luckily I do not lose what I've written but not yet saved otherwise the dog would have been sent out to plaly with the coyotes..... okay I'm joking there.
What bugs me is he seems to know when I have reached a stopping point or a point of not knowing where I was going in the writing. So he's got pretty good writer's radar for when breaks need to fall. LOL
