- So talk about your writing process a little bit.
Do you write everyday?
Do you tend to binge write, and then not write for awhile?
What's your process?
- So with Steven, we're both freelance,
so it's sort of like, do freelance gigs
to free up time to write,
and those schedules don't always match up,
so, usually we'll outline a whole idea,
and then, I'll do a full pass,
or he'll do a full pass,
or actually at the same time,
we each do a full pass, and then we swap,
and then we start debating, what stays and what goes,
so you end up...
If you're in love with a scene,
but you get out-argued on why his is better,
you're sort of like, okay, well,
I'm a little pissed that it's not my scene,
but, like, it's better now, so.
- Do you find that it helps you edit faster
as you write, when you write with a partner, or...
- We don't even sit in the same room
until we both have had a full pass, and then,
you know, read the other one's pass,
and start to like figure out,
what you're going to be fighting for,
and then, yeah, editing is pretty quick,
because at that point, you're already...
Basically, if you do your own pass,
like, if I had an idea that,
I want to hint at it here,
and then pay it off in 60 pages, or something like that,
but if you're co-writing, you don't really get a chance
to do that, because it may just go away.
But, now I've had my chance, it's in there,
and if it doesn't work, it's very clear it doesn't work,
so you don't have to really fight so much for it.
