: Kim, you are a sweetie plus. Thanks
:
: As to two people--I've never written with a
: partner, so I don't speak from personal
: experience. But I do know a few people
: who've written books together. Every
: writing team seems to do it differently.
: Sometimes one person does the plotting, and
: the other person does the actual writing.
: Sometimes one person does a draft, and the
: other cleans it up and they go back and
: forth that way.
:
: I think if two people were in a room
: together trying to figure out every single
: word as they wrote it, it'd be a very
: sloooow book to write. So I think with most
: writing teams, they just find a way to
: divide the labor that works best for
: them--and where each person can play to
: their strengths.

: Okay, sorry. I should have been more
: specific.
: So, say a book is written by two people
: (South Beach Sizzle, or the What
: if...series) how does that work? It's
: something I've thought about alot. I want to
: be an writer, and I just don't understand
: how two people would do that. Sometimes if I
: read a book that's written by two different
: people, I can kind of tell where the story
: merges, and how it seems to go in two
: different directions. You know? Maybe not.
: Sorry! I know I'm not making sense!
: Nevermind, I'm just confusing myself!!
:
: As for Reality Check, my cousin dowloaded it
: and I read it, it's really cute! I love
: Jules, she cracks me up! Thanks for
: responding!!! It means so much to me, you're
: one of my favorite authors!! I hope I get to
: meet you one day!

: Hey Kim!
:
: I'm so glad you enjoyed Do-Over! And I
: totally understand on Spin Control...I keep
: hearing from readers that either it's their
: favorite of the three, or their least fave.
: No in-betweens.
:
: As to more books about Val...I haven't made
: a firm decision yet. That's partially up to
: my publisher, too. But it's certainly a
: possibility. In the meantime, you might
: want to look at Reality Check (link is
: below.) It's a short story about Jules
: Jackson, Val's friend from the Royally
: Jacked books.
:
: As to your question: I'm not quite sure
: what you mean. Can you be more specific?
: Do you mean how do two people write a story
: together? I'll try to answer your question
: if I can!
