We used to have an office away from our home. Now we have offices in our home. Now, some days are more productive than others. Fred can spend hours on the telephone interviewing a person or listening to a tape of a recorded interview, but on another day he runs into dead ends all day long and progress is slow. Then at other times, Pat can finish a whole chapter in a day, and Fred can proof a galley.
Planning is out best friend.
We enjoy playing as much as we enjoy our work. All work and no play. . . is unhealthy. We never thought that we BOTH could make a living writing. It was never a goal because we had no idea such a thing was possible. Pat has always liked writing.
