Silent Partner

Time to take a moment to thank my wife. Not only did she find out about the writing group at our local library, she supports me every week as I sit down to write. There is no way I could be doing any of this without her support. 

Keeping a night clear for writing isn't always easy. A lot of things happen that crowd my weekdays. However, knowing that there will be a night in the near future helps keep the thoughts flowing. If I had to wait until a time opened it would be hard to keep the intensity, but like a flame being covered the busy nights would douse at least a significant portion of the stories. It means I try and make other nights a little easier for her (try, if not always succeed). Without my silent partner it would be the writing that was silenced.  So, here's a cheer to my partner, and every other person who has supported a friend or loved one in their goals.

  1. Do you go to the Brigham City Library? The writer's group there just did the first 5 chapters book! I go to that library group, too!

    PS--I posted your blog on facebook so that you can have more writers visiting you and hopefully follow you, too!! Good luck, I know you'll do just fine.

    (what a wonderful wife you have!)

  2. I do attend the group. And you weren't there for our discussion of The First Five Pages. :) Reichart is the name my oldest sister gave me, and it works a lot better for signing up on web site than Rich or Richard. Thanks for helping me out, Elizabeth!
