Life is funny. Who would have thought that McDonald's would be a great venue for writing books? Well, that is where Mark and I do some of our most creative thinking. We wrangle with our writing over some pancakes and coffee each week at a local Mickey D. Of course, there are the local retired gentlemen over by the window every time to keep us company. And a truck driver is a regular. Most of the time, however, we find it easy to get immersed in our writing without much interruption. Amazing. We have to be careful, however. Occasionally, Mark or I will read a section of what we have written out loud to each other to see how it sounds. On one such morning, Mark read a piece for Twin Motives that included some playful affection between a husband and wife. When read out loud it sounded like Mark and I were using the words "babe" and "honey" to each other. The old gentlemen next to the window began to stare. We still laugh about that today. Yikes.
