   In writing, the importance of team work is often played down. The myth is always of the lone wolf, isolated in a room or cabin for weeks until they emerge with their genius manuscript.

   I prefer to think of writing as team work. With peers, critique groups, mentors, alpha/beta readers, researchers, editors, artists, publishers, etc. all working together towards a final product that burns with many fires.

     Working as part of a team requires flexibility, understanding, communication, patience, and more. Sometimes it's hard and i wish I was in control of every aspect of everything, on my schedule, and without having to explain anything or deal with anyone. But in the end, I'll almost always pick a team over solo work, in music as in art as in writing as in living. The end result is always more satisfying than if i do it all myself. I'll take "We did it!" over "I did it!" any time.
