I'm curious, for those of you who do work in partnership with another author, how exactly you portion out the work between you?
-Does one person outline, and the other write?
-Or do you do alternate chapters?
-Or does one do the 1st half, the other the 2nd?
-Or do you have one person writing action, the other dialog/introspection?
I'm sure there are many other modus operandi, but what I imagine would really be a headache is the continuity, and trying to merge two different narration styles.
Anyway...I'd like to hear from anyone who is part of a successful writing partnership, and basically...how they do it and what sort of hiccups/problems occur in the process.
