My writing partner and I both love experimental fiction but when we sit down to draft together every 'yes, and' becomes a 'no, but' and we're both secretly convinced the other person doesn't understand what we're actually trying to create. We keep pivoting between our individual visions instead of finding something that emerges from both of us.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two strong creative voices are competing rather than composing, each protecting their vision instead of surrendering to collaborative discovery.
