Coordinating with somebody else can be frustrating or it can be exhilarating. Writing a lone you get to do what you want at your own pace and make all the decisions, but writing with someone can be really fun and inspiring. I like both. =)Jo Schafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514820971898568397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-9107381012711652202015-06-19T07:12:22.454-05:002015-06-19T07:12:22.454-05:00That sounds like an amazing book and now I definit...That sounds like an amazing book and now I definitely want to read it!
