Scenario

When creative partners have conflicting artistic visions

My writing partner and I started this novel because we both love dark fantasy but now every scene feels like a tug of war between his need for psychological realism and my instinct for mythic storytelling. We've been revising the same chapter for three weeks and neither of us wants to admit we might be fundamentally incompatible as co-creators.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two artists discover their creative instincts pull in opposite directions, making every collaborative choice feel like a compromise of their individual vision.
