I Love to Write

Does anyone want to write a story with me? I have the first part, and you can write the second. It can be whatever story you want to guide it too, and I will do the same. It will be fun, but you have to know how to write, I don't want to write with someone that doesn't write well, or someone with limited imagination. Interested?

You should try to finish it yourself. You know where you want it to go, and asking this question with your qualifications is pure laziness on your part. It is YOUR story, and the compositions should be YOURS.

Serious writers don't ask what you are requesting. I am a serious writer, and if I have a half-finished story, I stick with it and I finish it. I have a story to tell, and I want to put it down MY way, not pick up another's thread, no matter how intriguing or complicated.

Try to finish what you have. If you can't. then the story will not work. If you want to write with a co-author, START with that person, agree on the theme, and don't go of on a tangent to finish it.

In case you don't think I know what I am talking about, I have written and had published several things - letters, articles, and other things. The best work of an author who is serious about being one is that what he or she composes.

Thank you everyone for thinking about all of this. I wrote my story with 3 different people, and it was different each time. Nobody went more than twice though, i have this bad habit of making the female characters invulnerable and killing off all the men, my bad. ;)

@TeenWonder: well done you :)

Supergirl and Wonder Woman no longer exist. This is what I meant when I was saying about painting yourself into a literary corner and not able to devise a satisfying (to you) wrapup.

Kill off one character, maybe two. Let the remainders interact with the survivors of the story.
What sort of story? I have written a lot and enjoy writing. How would you like to do it? A page at a time back and forth?

I am not saying people can't co-author with others. But it should be someone you work with from the beginning, with the same storyline. This other individual has gotten tired of what he is writing and wants someone else to do ALL the followup work and HE grabs the credit for it. That will never work (or sell).

Right now, I am solo. The story ist in my head, and written there. When I go to bed each night, I begin to compose and write the story as I fall asleep. I have been doing this for years.
