Writers tend to be solitary, introverted people, quietly weaving stories, and breathing life into imaginary characters who become real. For many, the thought of co-authoring a book is a nightmare not visited, and for good reason, as this professor discovered when he paired his students for an exercise in ‘tandem writing.’
After reading this, I’ll never think about co-authoring the same way again. Hop over to The Federalist Papers to read Jason W. Stevens’ post about this sometimes disastrous form of writing in all of its humorous glory!

I laughed so hard at this one, I think I need some tea.

The part that cracked me up was the professor at the end.

The professor’s assignment had some unintended consequences, and his reaction was priceless. I loved the way Rebecca and Gary kept trying to off each other before their respective paragraphs ended.
