Have you ever collaborated on a novel or story with a writing partner? How did you coordinate your efforts? And did it help or ultimately hinder your creative process?
starconstant said:I really miss writing with her - she got too busy with uni and such, and couldn't get online enough to write together, as it does take quite a bit of extra time to make it work together. You can't just write, a lot of time is spent talking things through - at least, the way we did it
If I were to co-write a piece intended for publication, whether with a family member, friend or fellow author I met online, I would begin with a contract between us, setting out responsibilities, touching on the submission process/representation, division of royalties and advances, determination as to how rights would be sold/agreed upon, who would 'own the work' if one member should decide to bow out, etc.
