I told her that i thought we were a good fit and there was nothing to lose by giving collaboration a try, and even though she had never partnered with anyone before,she figured, "Why not?"Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683944890522588405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904226460022400247.post-9985532776580613262014-12-12T19:29:04.414-05:002014-12-12T19:29:04.414-05:00Hi Sally, truthfully, I don't mind talking to ...Hi Sally, truthfully, I don't mind talking to myself either :) But there are some other benefits of having a partner. For one thing, it keeps me on a writing schedule. I HAVE to write every Mon & Wed from 10:00-12;30 because Becky is expecting me. So it cuts down on naps. Ha. For another, i really do feel like the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Becky and i often come up with ideas together that i am sure neither one of us would have thought of alone.

I have several PB manuscripts (non-published, haven't had the courage to actually submit) and many of my ideas stem from watching my three sons grow up. (My oldest was the Moose). I like the idea of a writing partner, but I don't mind talking to myself. I agree with everything I say. (People do tend to glance at me when I am out and about, though.) ;-) Are there specific conferences you would recommend to a novice? I will attend the SCBWI in New York in February. I am so excited! First time in NYC for this Minnesota girl.
