I'm a freelance writer, and I work alone at a big desk in the living room of my apartment. There are many days when I don't utter a single word to anyone but my husband.

I've always been brought up to stand on my own two feet and not rely too heavily on everyone else around me.

When you work on your own life, you are less likely to hyper focus on the imperfections of your husband.

My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn't feel like work or like I'm balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit.

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.

My husband's a director, so he understands what I do.

I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself.

Well, my husband is supportive of my work, like advocating for dialogue between cultures on YouTube.

When you're filming, you work 19-hour days, and you know more about what's going on with your crew and co-workers than you do with your husband.

I do read all my work aloud as I'm working - this has made it a little hard to adjust to my husband's retirement. I can shout the shouty parts if I'm alone in the house, but of course, I feel a fool if someone is there to hear me.
