Write a short story or poem together.

“When we first started this project, we knew we would be writing back and forth, so we created a word document we could share, and each added the next episode of our story. To simplify things, we would use space holders, so we didn’t have to go back and forth on creatives. For example, we used (TOWN NAME HERE) so we could go back later and put in the same name. Once we’d each written our first episode, and started layering in the next episodes building on what we’d done, we NEVER questioned each other. We went with the story, as the other was building it. It was magic, flowing, weaving together, reading and interpreting the key plots and ideas, yet remaining true to our own styles and talents.”

“I also co-wrote a fic in real time with an author who is so terrifyingly good that I was sweating blood every time I wrote anything. I was exhausted after every writing session. But she did teach me a lot!”
