You could solve the problem by not muttering.

I was thinking about this last night after writing a particularly delicious problem for my poor female MC.

For one, brief, fading moment, I wished I had a husband, or some other captive to talk about it with.

My family (long distance) couldn't be less interested.

I settled for the cat while she was destroying the curtains.

It's what I got.

Ah, but if I don't let out the mutter, hardware tends to get broken.

Cheaper to mutter tbh. Plus it means he helps. He's good at throwing out really wild ideas that spark something off.

My last gf was the opposite. I couldn't get an oz of original, crazy idea out of her. But you know what, she was really good at dissecting what I already had, seeing holes in the logic.

The weird thing is, he's only started reading in the last few years ( he was undiagnosed dyslexic, but I noticed cos my brother is too. Anyway, reading was HARD. So I found some stuff that was nice and easy to read and fun - thanks Pratchett - and.. he was so proud the day he finished LOTR) but I'll give him a scene and say / think a vague 'I'm not happy with this' and he'll pinpoint exactly what's wrong with it.

Only trouble is of course it takes him a while to read a whole MS. Unless I put sex scenes in, then he's on them like a shot
