Reply to comment by franhawthorne in I’m Fran Hawthorne: I used to write award-winning nonfiction about consumer activism, the financial world, and the drug industry, but now I’m having much more fun writing novels. AMA about writing by franhawthorne

I wouldn't know the first thing about writing fiction. My wife has had a go a couple times. She's gotten about a third of her way into writing two books then stops and gives up! Any idea how I can encourage her to keep at it?

Of course she has to encourage herself, but maybe you could help -- for instance, offering to do more household chores? (Of course I have no idea how you two already divide the workload.) You could ask why she keeps stopping.
