I love the Kindle Fire my husband got me for Christmas, but even better is the night in a hotel room 90 minutes away all by myself for writing.
He used some of his hotel points to book the room, so I don't even have to feel guilty about spending so much money just to write.
He plans on relieving me of all kid duties as early as possible so I can find a cafe or some other place where I can write until I can check into my hotel.
I have been working freelance/contract jobs -- teaching, magazine writing, book editing -- since our first was born nearly 12 years ago, but really making no money after child care.
Last year, he fully supported my decision to quit all that and focus soley on the kids and my fiction.
I haven't made a cent since (I take that back. I've made about a whopping $15 in e-sales on previously published short stories I uploaded to Amazon and B&N, but I can't even have that until I make the $10 mark on each site.)
I have two unpublished novels, I'm on the agent hunt all over again and yet he continues to give me all of his support and lift me up whenever I'm feeling down.
Yup, definitely the most awesome Christmas gift ever.
