A couple writers, something plausible and romantic. Don't you remember the elegant image of having a cup of coffee together and talking about each other's art world? In reality, it is not at all. How do you know that? Because my wife and I are both writers. My wife is a fairy tale writer, and I am a non-literary writer who writes non-literary works. We are indifferent to each other's work. I don't know what kind of work I'm writing right now, and I don't even want to tell you.



It's hard to write my own, but I don't have time to worry about what or how my spouse writes. We don't want to know, it's better we don't know each other. Even if the other person's new book comes out, I don't read it. There are many books to read and books to read, but there is no reason why you should read it as a husband's book or a wife's book. Just a word without a soul. "The book came out beautifully. Good job!" Still, I pretend to open it up, but my wife rolls a peek at the cover. Maybe it's because I love my wife more? Or maybe it's because I'm more pretentious, or because I'm good at noticing.



Even if you find out about what your spouse is writing or writing, will it make you feel good the moment you say something? no. When I feel like I'm being pointed out, these words often run through my mouth. 'Good luck to you!' One day, I saw a couple of actors appearing on a TV variety show and saying this. "We don't talk about each other's acting. It feels like we're meddling." Not only the acting, but also the writing. When we talk about each other's writing, it seems that we are meddling, and it seems that we are being meddled.



Of course, there are differences between an actor couple and a writer couple. There are very few writers who are famous enough to appear on TV variety shows. No matter how famous a writer is, he can only be an actor. It is rare for a couple to be a best-selling author, and rarely for both of them to be a best-selling author. Although not necessarily a best-selling author, it is very rare for one of the two to sell more than 10,000 copies.



What does this mean? It would be nice if at least one person in the couple had a fixed and stable income, but this means that it is not. Moreover, the amount of income itself is not very large. Well, I can't even say that I was an enemy in a previous life, but how did both of them become writers? Before marrying me, my wife had an opportunity to see something similar to that of a public company employee with a high salary and guaranteed retirement age. But he kicked that opportunity when he started dating me. Why did your wife do that? Have you fallen for my charms?



I couldn't properly repay my wife's choice. From the beginning of my marriage, I had a study at home, that is, my own workspace. On the other hand, my wife did not have a separate work space even after she started working in earnest after making her debut as a newspaper writer. There was no 'room of one's own' as British author Virginia Woolf called it. Sometimes I work with a small table spread out in the living room, and sometimes I go to work at a local cafe. It seems that I started my life as a writer early and made a little more money from manuscripts, and I think I am a bad husband who occupies a large library.



But that doesn't mean I'm not helping my wife's life as a writer at all. When my wife embarks on writing a new work, I briefly perform similar work as a librarian. "Honey! Do you have any books like this or that?" Following this one word from my wife, I find the subject materials from the house shelves. Not long ago, I was looking for books with specific topics in Greek mythology. When I have a new book to buy, I go to a bookstore to buy it or order it from an online bookstore. My wife and I find and use most of the materials through online searches, but first we get clues from books and set directions.



Sometimes my wife makes me appear in her fairy tales. A fat writer with a shaggy beard, shabby sweaters, and a hard worker who doesn't come out of the room often and drinks Coke. Among the acquaintances who read the fairy tale of his wife in which this character appeared, he said, 'You're my husband's facial expression!' A lot of people noticed I feel like I am contributing to my wife's work by 'sacrificing my body'.



So, who is the more desirable writer, my wife or me? When my wife is not writing, she reads diligently. Read at least three or four hours a day. When it comes to writing, I consistently write for more than four or five hours a day. I'm not in a hurry, but I'm not lazy either. The important thing is to do it consistently every day, without skipping. My wife also works out about 2 hours a day every day. On the other hand, when I am not writing, I eat, drink, and play hard. I seldom exercise. I read a book, but I am neither diligent nor steady. life is irregular Just like studying crammed the day before the exam, when the deadline approaches, I rush to write. It is undesirable for a writer to live like this. Nevertheless, the undesirable writer is holding onto the perverse competitive spirit of trying to beat the desirable writer, that is, his wife by the number of copies sold. Is it some kind of entitlement?



In the manuscript for a writing book I am currently working on, I will also include information about my wife. Of course, that would be a good example. Wouldn't it have been possible for director Jang Hang-jun to appear in the entertainment industry with his wife Kim Eun-hee as the subject? Come to think of it, I am using my wife in this article as well. Director Jang Hang-jun once said: “While my wife was working, I got to wear an apron and do the housework.”



I rarely do household chores other than separate and dispose of recyclables. Sometimes, very rarely, I just wash the dishes. I deeply reflect on this point. As I wrote it, it became a reflection letter.
