I think most of us can relate to this story, we can be consumed by something and shut out what is important. You held the reader's interest and one has feelings for these characters.

The man's conscience plus the woman's understanding. Yes, I think it is alright to leave work for a while. Who knows, after that he will resume writing very fluently. And yes, this happens all the time. Interesting.

    Yes, all work and no play can make Jack a dull boy and the wife very unhappy...Inspiration springs eternal from the happy soul. Smiles, Carol

Wow! This is amazing and so beautifully written. I must be honest and admit I am speechless. I agree, I have no doubt that every writer can relate to this one. Very, very good work. I wish I had a 6 to give you for this one.

While I love to write, I haven't gotten quite this bad yet. Thank goodness, my writing is a hobby, not my life. Of course, when you make a living at it, that's a whole different ball of wax. Good writing. Interesting piece.

I get that all the time. Writing is taking over my life. It seems that way to me too sometimes. I wish I had the simple life back, but then I enjoy writing too. Wish it was easier to find the balance. Great job.

    Joy,

    Me too! I fall behind on reviewing and answering reviews because I write and then I fall behind on my writing while I tried to catch up. In between I try to live my life...A madhouse!

    Smiles, Carol

Hi Carol, what a wonderful story, and one many writers need to take to heart. Although this is fiction, and well written fiction at that, I am sure this scene plays out in many writers' lives. So absorbed, so creative, so absent from their loved one.
Excellent dialogue, spag free (as per your usually high standard) and just a great 'happy ending' story.
Thanks for sharing, I love it.
Warmest regards my friend,
Marijke

A-w-w. The frustrations of being a writer. You did a great job of describing them here. Your story is very realistic and flows quite smoothly.

Thanks for sharing this.

I believe that within your own personal journey through life's adventure there are many great stories of struggles and achievements. I look forward to reading such stories.

We all have much to share, and myself being anyalitical by nature, your words express a learning experience.
