#ScribesAndMakers Have you ever worked collaboratively? How did it go?
We had 4 people writing a novel. I kicked it off with a scene in the Delta. The next scene had seagulls. I'm like, seagulls? How are there seagulls in the Delta? He thought I was talking about the actual Mississippi River Delta in south Louisiana. I meant the Mississippi Delta, the land region in Mississippi that borders the river. We were so lost.
We only got about 8 chapters in before it fell apart.
