We are, in her own words, "Ying and Yang," in many things, but philosophically on the same page which made it easy to write with one voice. More to come on that...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Keith, for a tribute to some of our own fantastic group.Felicia Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556232226152556397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-49214537432828503452008-09-16T00:20:00.000-04:002008-09-16T00:20:00.000-04:00Keith, thanks so much for sharing your secret writ...Keith, thanks so much for sharing your secret writing spot/watering hole with us!

Amazing continuity from the previous covers, which were also brilliant.Jessica Loureyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157662092822156124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-2653065321221255842008-09-15T13:11:00.000-04:002008-09-15T13:11:00.000-04:00Collaboration sounds fun, if you can agree on your...Collaboration sounds fun, if you can agree on your vision. It seems to be working for Lynn and Joe, the translated-into-many-languages duo. <BR/><BR/>I think it's important (and fun) to meet colleagues and draw from their energy. Are you energized, Keith?Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-78042846931266699802008-09-15T13:07:00.000-04:002008-09-15T13:07:00.000-04:00I'm too difficult to work with to collaborate on a...I'm too difficult to work with to collaborate on a project as large as a novel. I'd be a good editor if someone else wanted to write the work and have me polish it, but the back and forth bits takes a special pair - like Lynn and Joe. You two are amazing!<BR/><BR/>And of course, Sue Ann is Superwoman , in case she didn't introduce herself properly. :)jbstanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839153589205692508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-8745801809415549792008-09-15T12:31:00.000-04:002008-09-15T12:31:00.000-04:00Thanks for the mention, Keith.

In the same breath, I would never recommend fiction collaboration to anyone.

It was the best excuse to procrastinate I've had all month. As for writing in collaboration, if I'd known all you had to do was write "partner, fill in here", then I would have found a writing partner a long time ago...Tim Maleenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293880305866616258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-75018479981934576242008-09-15T11:46:00.000-04:002008-09-15T11:46:00.000-04:00I could never collaborate, I don't think.
