When creative collaborators have incompatible work styles

My writing partner and I have been working on a book together for two years, but we have completely different processes - I need structure and deadlines while they work in creative bursts and resist schedules. Our productivity has ground to a halt and we're both frustrated but afraid that pushing for what we need will stifle the other person.
