5 Things to Ask Yourself Before Co-Authoring a Book

I am co-writing a book with someone on the other side of the world.  Stephen Ormsby.  I jumped into this without much thought.  So far it is working.  We are more than half way through the first draft.  Somethings to consider before jumping into writing a book.

1.  Stay true to your Morals and Beliefs.  Make sure that the two of you are on the same page with the tone of the story,

2.  Determine a schedule.  Stephen and I do not have a schedule and that is working for us at the moment.  Do you want to work on the book everyday and neglect your other writing??

3.  Do you like the story line?  Is a series and are you willing to commit to a series???

4.  Is your family on board???  Are they willing to let you write guilt free, cause now you have someone to answer to , besides yourself

5.  Can you accept that your partner will rewrite your scene???

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
