This is a beautiful thing to write a story in person with a friend. Unfortunately it seems to be a rare thing these days with writing synonymous with being a solitude hobby. I love the sound of that story too btw!
I love this! I used to do this with friends when we were younger, but bringing it back as an adult would be such a delight. I would totally read Heartpooned, sounds bloody hilarious!
Doooooo it, I absolutely LOVE writing with my bestie so we can expound on diverse ideas and concepts together... that's something writing solo can't always give you!
Heartpooned is just simply incredible name alone omg would read. I love love love the idea of co-writing! Haven't done it in ages/have yet to find a group project that captures this level of passion and fun, but I'm going to be looking out for it even more now :))
“A cook named Cook and a cat named Greg” SIGN ME UP😂 Also, I’ve co-written with another writer before and have to agree that there’s something nice about balancing tasks out and letting someone just take a chapter and put their own spin on it. Also those writing calls would last for hours on end sometimes sitting in silence and typing, other times chatting animatedly about new ideas. Love this for you!
This, writing club and book club... these bring me so much joy as a paid reviewer. I've already written my reviews before I go in, but hearing diverse voices, perspectives, and new questions to consider... so inspiring. It truly makes for a wonderful evening when I go home to write with my small group of friends and debate topics.
Love this in dome way it reminds me of consequences! I loved that!!! ❤️ I did a daft story like this with my old friend via email it really was so much fun!
Fun story... my friends and I got banned years ago by Yahoo for doing this... 😆 🤣 So we moved everything to tumblr but then... yahoo bought it and we changed platforms yet again lmao
I used to have a couple of writing partners and it was the most fun I’ve had in my life🤩 When my main writing partner and I split I didn’t write for a long time, but now I’m back at it🥳 It would be amazing to write with someone again, but I’m not sure if I could do. Good luck to you tho, and I would definitely read Heartpooned😂😂
First of all, writing a book with your friends sounds AMAZING. The description also sounds fantastic and I'm excited to see it come to fruition. Second of all. The DC Beltway is a bitch, and I too hate driving on it. My in-laws live in Maryland and whenever we visit we usually head down to DC for a day trip. The commute is the worst. Third, I appreciated this article, and I'm glad I'm not alone in postponing grocery shopping unless I can do it with someone else. Because same. 😂
Going to the store alone is a CHORE going with friends is an OUTING, an ACTIVITY. 😂 also I’m glad someone else relates to the pain that is driving on the dc beltway.
I used to write with a friend as a teen and it gave me so much life and inspiration. I am a verbal processor and I think I create much the same way, I need someone to bounce things off of. Much harder to achieve in adulthood but I long for that sort of creative collaboration!
“My social calendar would make an introvert shit their pants (probably).” I am said introvert😭 mostly because I did do this with a group of friends that I made online and we ended up falling out. I love the concept of writing partners, but my main issue is that I’m a massive micromanager
That’s so valid! A huge part of writing with others is giving up control, which is really really difficult. You really need to have an exact personality match with your writing buddies. Mine and I have been friends since elementary school, which I think is a huge reason why we write together so well!
I adore this! I often collaborate with friends and other creators... it's my life mission as someone who served on the board of a makerspace before leaving for Canada, where I recently married my weirdo fellow co-writer after we had been engaged for years long distance!
COLLABORATION IS THE GREATEST OF ALL COMPETITIONS! can't wait for your book to be ready ❤️ I'm always in such need of more books to rec at the libraries and book clubs for students 😀
Thank you! It really is, it keeps creators from burnout all too often, and that keeps art and science, music, etc going! What would we even DO if not for diverse voices who collaborate? It would be so boring a world...
I used to do this with a friend in high school and it was so great! Also, your book sounds fantastically funny. I look forward to hearing more about it!

Thank you! I definitely love the playful social side of writing and hope it makes a popular comeback.
I love this! I used to do this with friends when we were younger, but bringing it back as an adult would be such a delight. I would totally read Heartpooned, sounds bloody hilarious!
YES! I feel like I used to co-write a lot as a kid too. I think writing that was as an adult brings back some of that nostalgia.

Thank you so much! I hope you find your people soon!
This book honestly sounds so cool. I love that you get to do this with your friends.
Thank you so much!
I have to say the idea of this story sounds so cool. please please please make this book.
Anything for you!! We are on it 🫡

If I’m gonna do anything, it’s find a silly name. Yes!! Writing gatherings are the best, whether you’re chatting or typing away.

Omg an email story sounds like so much fun!

WHAT! I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to be BANNED FROM EMAIL. What were you writing ?? 😂

I’m a verbal processor too! I always need to talk things out to understand them and work through the writing process.

You’re so right!! Love love diverse voices ❤️

I’m hearing that a lot of people did this in high school and that’s so special! ❤️ thank you so much!
I would love to write a book with friends or someone...I think if they understood me enough ohh that book would be so great🤣
It’s the best thing in the world !!
