It's obvious that Maren and I have different writing styles
Yeah, this is of specific interest to me, because I think the people I would want to write with have really different styles. Other commenters have said you should write with someone who writes like you, but I think a big REASON I want to write with the people I do is we have different voices, and writing with them would lead to something I couldn't do on my own.
So we then moved to working on sections, no matter how if it was a 2,000-word piece or a paragraph and passing it to the other when we got stuck. I think it's helped the flow of the piece and our styles to merge in a more pleasing, less jarring way.
I like this idea. Another person above was saying that though they did do the splitting up character thing, the way they kept it fluid was back and forthing pretty often without specific length limits--like you could just send a line or a whole 5 pages. She said it could go relatively quickly writing that way, and I like the idea because it seems the two writers can almost pick up a rhythm or a pace, and once that starts happening the writing starts coming more easily and I would think that the style would mirror that.
However, we're not going to post any more chapters until it's completed because nothing is worse than a languishing WIP.
That answers that question! I really like y'all's WIP and have been wondering what happened to it. I'm glad it will be finished.
