Scenario

When creative partners have conflicting artistic visions for shared projects

My writing partner and I started this novel because we both love the same obscure historical period, but she wants to write it as literary fiction and I keep pushing toward genre elements, and now every chapter feels like a compromise that satisfies neither vision. We've stopped being excited about our own story.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two creators discover that shared passion does not guarantee shared artistic language, and compromise threatens the integrity of what drew them together.
