The Support of a Good Woman!

I've made an effort to get up early every morning for the last couple weeks to carve out time to work on my script. It's been tough, cause my creative juices don't flow so well while the birds are chirping and the sun is rising. But "Like Brothers" is now close to being wrapped, and I'm feeling good about my preparations for the Willamette Writers Conference. All that said, it occurs to me that my extra sacrifice is only possible because of one person...

My wife!

I work 'til 5, then come home to share duties watching the kids with my wife. Our only time to be together with an ounce of quiet is after 9:00pm when they are asleep. And it's during this time that we catch up on the countless hours of TiVo that stack up. Unfortunately, by dedicating myself to getting up early every morning, I'm taking away some of that quiet time from the Mrs.

But she's never complained about my script writing. She's always supported me. She has been very encouraging to me in following my dream, and has made more than a few sacrifices, both with her time and our money.

They say "behind every good man is a great woman," so it looks like I'm a pretty lucky man!
