The snow is gone...but the cold hangs on

So, our colds are continuing to hang on. Not that anyone really needs a blow by blow (no pun intended) account of our colds.

We did manage to get up to a coffee shop to do some writing which is supposed to be our new Sunday routine. We tried to go someplace a little cooler than the Starbucks in the new Safeway complex near our house, but every coffee house we went to was full and since we needed outlets (we both have what are euphemistically called "vintage" laptops so neither one of us have a long battery life), we couldn't just wedge ourselves in any old place.

Ron seemed to get a lot done. I got stuck. That's not supposed to happen, I have a really solid outline dammit!

What are you guys writing?

Well, one of our many schemes to find a way to make enough money working at home is for one or both of us to become published authors. We are a long way from that goal since from what I have read, you need to have a couple manuscripts tucked away before you even start trying to sell one to show that you are not a one hit wonder.

Anyway, I am writing science fiction, Ron is writing a fantasy novel. We weren't getting much done till we decided to set aside some time on Sunday's to write together. It seems to make a difference to get out of the house and away from distractions.

Sounds great! You guys think you might share free samples on LJ?

Of your WRITING, that is. ;-)

I mean, like little excerpts, perhaps.

Hmmm. That might be fun. But it will be a long time I think...
