YAY OR NAY WEDNESDAY

Last week, we asked: DO men really (as Waterstones staff claim) write better novels than women? and you answered: You don't think so! I have to say, I've read some wonderful books by men, but tend to prefer women's fiction and about 80% of my reading is authored by women - I gravitate naturally towards it (and review it for work, of course...)

ANYWAY! THIS WEEK, I'm inspired by the book I'm reading and the book I've just reviewed, both of which were written by good friends working together, as was another one of my favourite chick lit read of recent years, The Nanny Diaries.

So, what I'm wondering is: would you like to write a book with a close friend? Would you and your best pal bicker too much, do you think friends working together is a recipe for disaster, or does it sound like fun and the prefect way to ensure the long process of writing a novel doesn't become too lonely.

Writing with your bestest friend: Yay or Nay - and why?

  • I do too. Shall we write one, Stella? ;)

    Although I did actually start planning to write a novel with an acquaintance (who&#39s probably still tearing her hair out because she sent me the plan about a year ago and I haven&#39t had time to even look at it yet) and I was warned that it&#39s fraught with difficulties.

    I think you&#39d either have to be such good friends that nothing could damage the friendship or perhaps do it with a friend you wouldn&#39t be too upset to lose! :)

  • Yay! I think it sounds like a bundle of fun!
