You know, one of the great things about having a husband who’s also a writer is that you have an in-house sounding board. So you’re having a bad day or you’re stuck on a scene, and oh, man that is really useful. I’ve never been a writer’s group person, but it’s probably because I’ve always had an in-house writer. Michael is so good at plotting. And plotting really, really can frustrate me. So, often, I’ll use him to help me get through those tough corners that I’ve written myself into.
We did a novel called, Eve and Adam together, and we told the publisher, Jean Fiewel, that she would have to have a clause included that covered any marital counseling that we required as a result because we hadn’t worked collaborated in a long time. And, in fact, because we kinda both developed our own styles, and we were writing for different age groups, it was really smooth sailing I think.
