Thanks so much for subscribing to my feed and I&#039;m really glad you get value out of these posts; helping the reader is my primary goal.

By the way, sorry I haven&#039;t written in a while. I&#039;m at a chess tournament as I write this. After that, things will be back to normal--and better.</description>

Definitely; I&#039;m really excited, as well. I&#039;ve always wanted to write a multi-author book because, as I briefly mentioned in the post, coming up with new ideas to write about and continuing your book (especially when you have a lot of ideas to choose from) can be quite challenging, and having someone else come up with ideas for you half the time can be quite helpful. Being accountable to the other author should also be a great deal of motivation.

As you said, can&#039;t wait to see what will happen!</description>

		<description>Happy birthday young Gemini! You truly are a whiz kid, and your site made me smile. I&#039;m more than twice your age, but not three times. I write books, too - action and adventure in the Civil War and 19th century. There was a lot going on, wasn&#039;t there? My main character is named Daniel, too. I really love the idea of writing back and forth with your aunt. You&#039;re wicked creative and an inspiration to me. :)</description>

		<description>Hi Daniel,
I&#039;m so excited about our project! Can&#039;t wait to see what you wrote--another fun thing about it as whatever plans we might have will by necessity change after we read each other&#039;s paragraphs--we will have to be very flexible! As you say, this will be good practice. Lots of times, when you are writing, a character will take on a life of his or her own and you&#039;ll end up writing a story you never intended as the character develops in the story--now, as we help develop each other&#039;s characters--who knows what will happen!
Writingly yours,
A. J.</description>
