I like your analogy about you being a native speaker, sure hope he does become fluent soon! At least he's been at least attempting to be supportive, I've heard of people who have a partner who thinks their writing is a waste of time - that would be tragic (and for me, a reason not to be with that partner, I guess!). Keep working on him! You're going to be famous soon anyway so he'll have to be on the same page as you to fend off all the groupies :-) That’s great that Andy is starting to “get” the writing thing!

Andy has creative elements to him (namely guitar and songwriting) but he's overall a very business focused, goal oriented, productivity robot. And of course I mean that in the best possible way. So we've been together 4.5 years now, and JUST A FEW DAYS AGO we finally may have gotten to a point where I feel like I'm getting the support from him that I need. I mean, he's been "supportive" of my writing all along, but he would nag, or criticize, or just say/do things in a way -- in HIS way -- that ended up doing more damage than good. To his credit, he always WANTED to help, but we never seemed to be speaking the same language. I'm still not sure we're 100% there, but I think we're getting close. It's like I'm a native speaker and he's finally conversational. I'm hopeful that he'll be fluent by the end of the year. ;P .-= Kristan´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kristanhoffman/~3/hBPXwiPNfQY/" rel="nofollow">The gods must be crazy</a> =-.
