Many
writers run into problems with their spouse or family after they
begin writing regularly. If you spend too much time writing, it can
cause resentment and negative actions and feelings against the
writer. Keep in mind that your family still needs to come before your
writing. Learn to create a healthy balance between the needs of your
spouse or family and the pressures of the writing assignments or
projects. One writer shared that when a last-minute writing
assignment came up that would require long hours to complete on time,
he asked his family's permission to accept the assignment. They
agreed, especially after he promised to use part of the income for a
family outing. Keep the family in the loop as far as what you are
writing, what you have submitted, and the results—both good and
bad. They can be your best cheering section, and also commiserate
with you over the rejection slips.
