To all married freelancers

[adderslj]

How the heck do you manage to write with your wife/husband/SO about?

It feels so damn odd sat here alone in the study while Lorna does other things in the house and garden. I imagine I'll get over it in time, but right now, it's hard.

It's very hard to do -- almost as hard as writing when there are kids around. :)

More seriously, I didn't start serious freelancing till two years after I'd been married, so, by then, my wife and I had already settled into patterns that I could exploit to allow for maximal writing efficiency. Nowadays, I find I mostly write late at night, after my wife is asleep (and hopefully my children are too).
