So how do you all find living with an author?
For me it's quite a roller-coaster ride. When my wife (Elita) gets into a new book idea she's profoundly excited, burns away the midnight oil and comes jumping out every hour or so with glee... but don't you dare say anything to dampen, or respond with anything but full enthusiasm, lets you turn their positive energy and watch the happiness turn into a scouring menace of depression that's all your fault  Sound familiar?
I would say that Elita comes up with a new book idea every couple of weeks, sometimes in bursts of three or four in 24 hours. It's great when things are going well, it's scary when things don't.
Authors can become impossibly stubborn if they're trying to make a word, scene or phrase fit into their work but it refuses to - oh the anger!
Would I give it all up... hell no - it keeps life very interesting and I love her all the more.
Obviously there's a lot more I can talk about - but this thread is going to explore how other people experience life with their author-partners.

This is an interesting thread Mr PLD.
