Nathan has always wanted to be a writer. He freelances a little bit, but he has been working a job that isn’t what he wants to be doing at all. Luckily, the place where he works is filled with wonderful guys his age, and they have become quick friends.

For the past year, we have been in constant discussion regarding Nathan’s career. He went to college for writing, and he has won a number of awards for screenplays and short stories.

Luckily, God has given me a wonderful career in which I am very happy. I make great money, and I can easily support both of us at our current cost of living while Nathan follows his dreams of writing. We’ve been putting his paycheck into savings the entire time we have been engaged/maried, so we have a nice cushion fund if something should happen.

Nathan gave his two week notice at his current job today, and he will officially start writing full time on September 29th of this year. Please pray for him to be blessed with the confidence and success necessary to follow his dreams.

I think the next few months are going to be tough for him as he adjusts to the role of househusband and writer. He’ll be working from home, and he will assume the responsibilities of cleaning/cooking/daily petcare while I continue to work and attend graduate school.

Also, if you have any advice it is very welcome! He has already experienced some judgment from others regarding the role of househusband, but he knows it is what God has called him to do.

Thanks 🙂
 
Hi Stephanie;

I love writing, too–and used to freelance years ago, back when I lived in PA…If he can make it work–and your career is stable and pays the bills…I say go for it. Nothing worse than looking back with regret on dreams we should have realized.

I will keep you both in my prayers.

Does he want to write for a paper, or write books…or what?
 
Screenplays and childrens books are his passion.

His major was creative writing, and his minor was actually illustrative art. He is very talented and creative [we are very opposite here!].

It will be an exciting time for us!
 
It should be! I’m excited for him. I will vicariously through you, relaying his writing highs and lows to us.🙂

I had a literary agent, who turned out to be a ‘predator’ as they say…asking for money, claiming they are sharing your work with top publishers…but just came to find out, he just took my money and nothing happened. I gave up perhaps too quickly.

It sounds like he has a strong resume with this–so I’m sure things will go superbly for you both–how neat!

Thanks for sharing. Wish him luck for me. 👋

Does this mean he has to do the vacumning too?
 
Congrats on your recent marriage and may God bless you both on this new path. 🙂
 
Your husband sounds like my fiance. When I’m done with school and start full time as a physician (and we start having kids) he’ll be the stay-at-home-dad and writer while I work. He’ll be responsible for the cooking, cleaning, etc. 🙂 Our prayers will be with you!
 
haha! Vaccuuming included!

Tell him to shoot me a PM and I’ll give home some tips on how to get outta of it.

But I couldn’t get out of it today. Since I retired seems like I’ve been gettin stuck with it way too much. :mad:

This was me 2 hours ago, I captured the moment with my phone to prove I DID do as instructed.
