At least we're never without anything to talk about because we always have several writing projects going on.Livia J Washburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958199886826207363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-34710465090800629002013-09-15T19:25:02.438-05:002013-09-15T19:25:02.438-05:00Even though I have no spouse who writes, this conv...Even though I have no spouse who writes, this conversation happens all the time when we are getting a murder mystery ready or are writing a new one. (That's the murder mystery company I work with). I think it would be great to have someone to bounce ideas off of. I would love to be a fly on the wall at one of your 'dinners out'. Loved this post!

You all that have such supportive friends and family are very very lucky. It would be great to have someone to bounce plots off of once in a while. Y'all are very blessed. Loved this post Livia. I can just imagine it. You and James are so lucky to have each other!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-1742644225656755702013-09-15T16:53:35.598-05:002013-09-15T16:53:35.598-05:00Between me talking plot and my kids talking about ...Between me talking plot and my kids talking about fan fic, our lives sound quite fantastical.

Or we'll see someone when we're out and about and one of us will say something to the effect that this person would be a good character in a story. We've talked about my writing when dining out. I don't think we've talked about specific crimes. Maybe we should to see what kind of reaction we'd get.

Dialogue snatches can be particularly embarrassing when they're yelled into dead air. :-DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740371055384281988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-87727387319912855332013-09-15T07:43:08.699-05:002013-09-15T07:43:08.699-05:00You are SOOOOOOOO lucky.

I go up to the second floor, crawl into my cubbyhole, and write (or dream) and who knows or cares what I write about. It also makes me waste altogether too much time.ChuckTyrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609200010767178944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-73799935382299348512013-09-15T07:22:18.612-05:002013-09-15T07:22:18.612-05:00Poor spouses who have to put up with our crazy din...Poor spouses who have to put up with our crazy dinner talk.

Once, my husband and I were discussing the structure of a book, and just as I said, "But I want to have sex before then," the waiter walked up. My poor husband was more than a little embarrassed.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.com
