My favorite story is the one about how Stephen King, having gotten one rejection letter too many for "Carrie" threw the manuscript into the trash.

Tabitha fished it out and insisted he submit it one more time. The rest is history.

Or at least a spouse who knows when to stop putting up with your bullshit.

"Yeah, I was going to get to—"

"Just DO it."
