Collaborations...

So, not only did I start a collab blog, but I am now doing a collaboration novel or series of novels (depending on how the first one works) with one of my best friends, Tracey. It's still in the beginning stages at the moment. So all we are doing are fiddling down the characters, the setting, and brainstorming a plot and a title. However, so far we're working really well together because we are so in sync, it's kind of insane. =]

This may just be one of the best ideas ever. I'm actually able to create something. It's a feeling of excitement. The fact that the two of us can sit down and talk about this book in the works and write together, whether it be separately and then we switch it or actually get together and physically write together is quite amazing.

I just wanted to see if I could get any of your inputs on what you think of collaborations either by reading them or actually participating in one.

The end before the beginning?

So, in my first post I had asked for some advice/tricks of the trade of writing. One person said that I should try writing the ending and then go back to the beginning. Just write and write and write and edit later. Sounds like a wonderful idea and I am definitely going to be trying that later today and I will definitely keep you guys posted.

Just wondering.. What do you guys use to write (besides your wonderful imaginations). Like do you use a specific program or something. I have seen a lot of novel software out there and was curious as to what you guys thought about it.

Also, if you have any other tricks of the trade secrets/ideas don't hesitate to let us know! I'm sure we all could use the help!

much love everyone!
