In case I haven’t gushed about him enough, I want to again tell you that Richard is the best husband on Earth! Each year, he lets me choose his Halloween costume and he never knows what he’s going to be until Halloween.

It’s no secret that everyday experiences are fodder for writers. Readers relate to everyday experiences. Often, though, we writers think we’ve exhausted all our everyman material, and have nothing to write. Such thinking is nonsense.
