We had so much fun together as friends that I suggested we [with Kate DiCamillo] write a book together.
If I could get someone like John Grisham or someone like that to sit down and write a book with me, I'd love that.
I like sitting and writing with my buddies.
Every morning for, I don't know how long, I came over to Alison's [McGhee] house and we sat in her office and wrote the stories "out loud" together. We yelled at each other and made each other laugh. It was a lot of fun.
That first writing session, what Dan Hill calls a creative blind date, is always a real challenge, and you bring that back to your partner when you return to writing with them.
Writing with other people is absolutely delightful. It's social, which a writer doesn't usually get to do.
My younger brother and I have been writing together, mainly for fun, for years, but we've been improvising together since we were kids. Literally.
I can write in my living room with my wife and kid around.
You can get stale writing with each other for a while.
We like writing with each other; it's fun.
I haven't given any thought to collaborating with my sisters. It would be great fun. My daughter Molly is a wonderful writer - someday I'd love to collaborate with her.
