Affirmation
My husband is a writer. A good one. He writes trade articles for magazines, among other things. I think he assumed that since he's a good non-fiction writer, that writing fiction would be easy for him, and that what I do isn't that hard, despite the fact that I've devoted myself to honing and learning my craft for over three years. Yesterday, he wrote the story of how we met on his blog. Then he read my post about Ireland. Afterward, he told me that he realizes now how different and difficult writing fiction is. Is it wrong that it made me feel good to hear him say that?

No, that's not wrong at all. I think writing fiction is tough. I hear a lot of people who think writing in general is a breeze, that a monkey could do it. It's also nice that your husband is a writer, even if a different type. He must understand a lot of what you do. As for your last post, critiques are a necessary part of writing - I think. However, that said, it's important to find the right critique partners.
Hey...how's that novel comin'?
