Hi Alan. This doesn't sound like a part...Ouch!<br /><br />Hi Alan. This doesn't sound like a partnership made in Heaven, or anywhere close to it. <br /><br />I think you know, I write with a partner for a good deal of my work at the moment, and we've been really good together. We seem to have tackled it a little differently than you and Ed. Jenna and I were friends before we decided to try writing together. We talked and promised each other that if things got difficult, we'd simply drop the joint writing and remain friends. That was number 1 for us.<br /><br />Okay, that done, we tackled our first series together. We worked on it together, right from the first word. We determined what genre we wanted to try, what heat level, where we'd submit it, all of it. Jenna and I compliment each others styles. She writes fantastic, gripping endings, I'll grab you at the beginning. I write hot sex, she can carry a story line beautifully. <br /><br />Perhaps you need to back up a step and, if Ed is the partner you'd like to work with, come up with a story line together. Make it belong to both of you. It's just a thought and I've found it really works for us. <br /><br />(Ya know, I feel like a dufus trying to give you advice. Sheesh!) <br /><br />Great post<br /><br />HugsJude Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067166768734750026noreply@blogger.com
