When creative partners lose their shared vision during collaboration

My writing partner and I have been working on our screenplay for eight months and we've developed this strange dynamic where I write something vulnerable and honest, then she rewrites it to be more commercially viable, and now neither of us recognizes the story we originally wanted to tell. We keep saying we're protecting each other's vision but I think we're actually erasing it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two artists are caught between honoring their individual authenticity and creating something that satisfies both of their creative instincts, slowly compromising away the essence of what drew them together.
