 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: I work from home part-time and also I'm a writer working on my third novel. My husband works at a historical site that is currently closed, and he's home, climbing the walls. He wants me to spend more time with him but my job still has to get done, and my next novel is the third in a series and due this fall. To keep my readers engaged, I can't afford to miss that deadline. In other words, I don't have time to play around. My husband is acting like my refusal to goof off with him means I don't love or care about him. I feel for him, I know he's an extrovert, and this is hard on him. He's also right that the pressure for my novel is mainly internal — my small indie publisher will not drop me over a missed deadline — but it's very important to me. What can I do as a compromise? — Up a Wall |
