When creative partners have different relationships to what makes their work sacred

My writing partner and I started this novel because we both felt called to tell this particular story, but now we're realizing we each have completely different relationships to what makes it sacred — I want to honor the research and historical truth, she wants to honor the emotional truth of the characters. Every chapter feels like we're compromising something that feels holy to one of us.
