Cowriting this was a joy. We each took a character and wrote a chapter before passing it back. I remember being so excited to jump in and read Charlee's newest chapter. We'd discuss the basics of how we wanted the story to go, but a lot of it came as a surprise as we went. There were two imaginations involved--two wells of inspiration that we swam in and this book was the result. It only really took us about two weeks to write because we were so excited. Editing was much more difficult. Partially because every edit had to be checked with the other person and partially because there was a long gap between us finishing the first draft and editing, so we lost a bit of enthusiasm.
What makes this story special is that it sparkles with the chemistry that me and Charlee share. Our friendship dazzles from every character interaction because that's how we wrote it. It was as natural as texting your bestie. (Does that make it like sexting when you guys write steamier scenes?) Hahah actually kinda. I feel lucky that my best friend also writes. If we didn't write together we'd still talk non-stop. It's so cool to have a project that we brought to life as a team.
We have several more projects that we'd like to take on together but since we're both writers on our own, the amount of time we'd be able to dedicate to our group projects would depend on how much money we could make together compared to individually.
