I haven't done a collaboration yet, but I have to say, the idea intrigues me. Milik and Jane's effort was an absolute cracker
While the logistics baffle me a bit, I love the idea of blending that creativity and literary talent, finding the balance between styles. As Milik says, breaking through that block.
I've got a stubborn little thorn of an opening scene that I just can't do anything with, and it's far too good to let go. Maybe a collaboration is what it needs. Certainly a better mind than mine.
That is actually what happened with one of my three collaborations. If a fresh breath of air is what you are looking for, I can tell you writing with Poppet brought a new perspective to my start of Crimson skies She really brought fresh life to Jess, and it would never have been published without her. I look forward to writing with her again.
MY other two collaborations were written with a sort of volley style. My very first started out as a sort of lark with my very good friend Delphi, the result is a piece that I absolutely adore. I am humbled that it was one of the earliest recipients of the Best series awards. People ask me what is my favorite piece that I have written, and I consistently send them to Settle for Nothing. Please read it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
My latest collab has been mentioned here already, Synocaption. People ask me how I write, what makes me want to write and this is a perfect example. I write because somehow the idea of the story worms its way in. I had this vision of a series of letters. Milik was kind enough to suggest a love story of a by gone era and it suited the style I wanted to write. It really was something different and I loved writing it. The character worked her way into me and took control of the situation. (for those who have read it, when I did the outline, She was never going to cheat. But somehow she ended up at that party and well...) but that was what made it fun.
