A Collaborative Failure

A Collaborative Failure by Russell Payne and J.G.Watson. Two authors. One Book. No Hope. An attempt at writing a book together caused writers Payne and Watson ten years of back and forth changes, rewrites, recriminations, and name calling. In the end, they admitted defeat and went their seperate ways, this is an autopsy of what went wrong, what went right, and how come they are still talking to each other. They revist those first few chapters and drafts and the reignite the problems they had with each others words. A fascinating and original insight into the writing process, a tested friendship, and just how much time you can spend arguing about the phases of the moon.
