Sorry, a little bit bummed about having no ILP kit (still), given that this blog is supposed to be my life with ILP. Oh well, I'll post what I can. Today I had a meeting with some friends that I haven't spoken with properly since 2002. By chance we had found an old comedy script we'd written whilst very bored in "History and Philosophy of the Law". Oh what innocent first years we were. Anyway, we've decided to revive the script and include it as part of a comedy revue, coming to a theatre not near you in late 2006.
The interesting thing we all noted is that writing comedy works best in collaboration. The atmosphere wasn't bitter or competitive (as if often the case amongst would be comedians) but rather pretty spontaneous.
Likewise, I have a long term (think "let's finish this before we die") novel planned with another good friends. 10 minutes in collaboration on msn yielded more good ideas than hours of procrastination.
Generally I think we live to see writing as a solitary activity; the noble, tormented artist against the world.
Other writers, how does collaboration work for you?

Well, that is a wonderful Idea, We have a pod environment over here at zaadz, we could use it to write a story in collaboration with all zaadsters…..anyone who wants can write a part and the another continues the story line. That way we can all find out how it works. What do you think? EXCITING, Can you set it up?
Be well,
