How Do We Write

People always ask us how we write. I guess a husband and wife writing combo is somewhat rare. It’s a collaborative process. I write, Alyce changes what I write with cute little phrases such as, “Are you crazy? No woman would ever say that!” or “Let’s say this, it makes sense.” (The unwritten part of that is I didn’t make sense.) or “How old is Gramm, one hundred and ninety? You make him sound like a doddering fool.” I counter with my “on a roll” sign that indicates I cannot be interrupted. However, Alyce does not respect the “on the roll” sign.  If I wrote a book by myself it would be only ten pages, so basically I write the outline and Alyce fills it all in.
