If You Love Writing, Take Care of Your Better Half

I came across a bit of uncommon wisdom embedded in a list of common sense guidelines for making headway in your writing.

(4) If you have a better half living with you, make sure your better half is appeased and happy before starting.

Good idea. You may not finish your book on time, but you’ll be a better writer.

So, if you love writing, take care of your better half.
