My Boyfriend is Great

This is why Ian is so great - this morning I woke up at 9:30, and he had a surprise for me. He was already up and had been online... shopping for voice-activated writing software for me. He found and ordered the "Dragon Naturally Speaking" vocal word processing program from an online dealer for a good price (much better than Best Buy!) It should be delivered sometime in the next week. Wow! Ian is the best. I can't wait to get it and learn how to use it. It should be a great help to me in minimizing the pain I sometimes have in my arm, shoulder and neck while writing. It's a lot better than it was when I first injured my shoulder and neck in August. But I still feel pain and numbness when I write for a long time by hand or at the computer. After I get it and learn how to use it, I will definitely post a report on the software.
It means so much to me that Ian supports my writing so enthusiastically and encourages me in my writing career goals. I never had that in a relationship before. Most of the guys I had been involved with were either jealous of my writing ability because they didn't have any talents or creative interests, or were resentful of the time and effort I put into my writing because it took away from the time I spent with them. Ian's different because he believes in my writing ability and wants me to succeed. And he understands the time, energy and effort that goes into a creative pursuit, because he's trying to build a career in photography. And I give him all the support and encouragement that I can. I think we have a good partnership - we help each other and we'll share any success that we'll have. Every creative person should be lucky to have a partnership like this. Thanks, Ian!
