I'm happy for you that you have your family to support you. Mine would probably drive me crazy if they did because they would be all into telling what to write. This way, I can hermitize (I know, not a real word) while I write.<br />I wish you continued success in all you do.Sarah J.

I hope you don't feel we were picking on you, or your poor husband. I just loved the story. :) <br />And I knew others would too. <br />My husband does read my work in progress, but he is a very meticulous and s-l-o-w reader. He's great for catching typos and things that don't make sense, but sometimes I've revised six times before he's finished reading and marking. Maybe that's another reason I write shorter pieces. :)<br /><br />Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515738513698526073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082841708976766505.post-22294398287118150902014-08-19T17:05:34.070-05:002014-08-19T17:05:34.070-05:00I've never asked my husband to read my manuscr...I've never asked my husband to read my manuscripts because one of our daughters is a writer, and she's given me good feedback as well as plotting help. My best friend also has served as my beta reader, and bless her heart she has read every manuscript I've written! But after seeing all the comments, I may have underestimated hubby. Should have tapped him for some feedback, maybe! I just wasn't sure I could wait until he put me on the front burner!Vicki Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206290002803849355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082841708976766505.post-60363012830949812562014-08-19T16:38:54.497-05:002014-08-19T16:38:54.497-05:00Thanks for stopping by, Kitty.

My husband read my first book galleys right along with me, all in one sitting, with lots of coffee to keep us going. (note, I did not say to keep us awake...as my books don't put readers to sleep!) And he has been available to proof any book requested since then. Isn't it great to have a husband's support? I wish you much success with this book and all your books to come.Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082841708976766505.post-81859713367417947122014-08-18T15:18:41.482-05:002014-08-18T15:18:41.482-05:00Those husbands can be surprising. :)

My husband didn't read my work, either, as he's not fond of fiction, but when I asked him to read a novella I wrote, and give me any pointers he thought of, he read the whole thing in one day and loved it.

Welcome to our group.<br />I laughed at your story about your husband. Mine, however is totally opposite. I have ten full-length published novels, several novellas, some put in a Collection so I would have the print, and several short stories. If the book is in print--as are the ten novels and the collection, he buys his own book, asks me to autograph it "with something special that you don't say for everybody else." Ahhh. He not only reads everything I write, during a recent health issue that kept him a little inactive, he brought out all his copies and read each one again. Now, you can't ask for a husband much better than that.<br />Congratulations on your first release, and here's to many more!
