The WOVEN Blog Tour and Giveaway: Collaborative Writing Guest Post at Thinking Through Our Fingers!

 

If you missed the reveal of WOVEN's map on brandonsanderson.com yesterday, be sure to check it out. Hurry, before it unravels!

For today's tour stop, we share a guest post about collaborative writing at Thinking Through Our Fingers! Learn about the process that Michael Jensen and I used to create Woven and our suggestions for every writer who may want to join forces with another writer.

The book birthday was excellent. Michael and I hit the town and stopped by a book store along the way. When I first started writing, it had been my dream to see something I wrote on the shelves of Barnes & Noble. I had hoped to take a picture of this, but something even better happened. Every copy they had was on reserve at the front desk. I also caught wind that stores across the country are selling out. This is good. This is very, very good. You guys rock!

And a bunch of copies came in for Michael and me to sign as well. Last night was very exciting. Boy 1 even got in on the fun!


This is the best debut release a new author could ask for. Thank you!

Check back tomorrow for the next tour stop and other news!

Have you thought of giving collaborative writing a try? If you have, what was your experience like? What's your favorite collab book?

I'm David, and I think this movie trailer looks ... Fantastic!

    Love the map in color!

    I must say that I'm kind of surprised they're already rebooting Fantastic 4. Trailer looks cool though.

    I see you're reading Steelheart. I just finished Firefight. *sigh*

    I did collaborative writing for ten years. It was amazing the kind of stories we came up with. And it was a lot of fun. Pity we never care to save all that writing somewhere permanently.
