So... About once a month I get hit by a wave of detailed inspiration and am now like ten books behind on my writing efforts. Rather then let the ideas go stale, or even worse, be conceptualized and applied by someone else in tune with the same aspects of the times, I'm on the market to co-write the following projects:
1. Space Opera - Delany/Le Guin style (one self-contained volume)
2. Paranormal alternate reality period (circa 1900) steam punk adventure with domina protagonist (possibly pilot of series)
3. Epic international thriller - saving civilization as we know it from a mole&NLP conspiracy sown by the soviets in the 1980's
4. Psychological conspiracy/terrorist/army buddy thriller -includes mystical staff (one self-contained volume)
5. YA - Stine meets Star Trek series of novellas. Pilot and framework of another ready. Preparing about 4 novellas should be enough to go on the market with
6. Horror/thriller - Jaws/Crichton style+the usual Psycho elements, no paranormal. (one self-contained volume)
Proposed method of work:
1. I send the plot summary and character bible. Partner returns with opinions, proposals. I agree or disagree.
2. I send a detailed plot arc, each chapter described by a few sentences. Partner returns with opinions, proposals. I agree or disagree.
3. Partner writes draft of first three chapters. I look and see how things are working out and whether the style that is appearing demands any major tweaking of the plot or characters.
4. Partner completes draft, I read and send back with recommendations concerning the fleshing out
5. Partner fleshes out manuscript. We both edit and proofread. Then we send the manuscript out, have it picked up, become quite successful, live happily ever after. Money split 50 - 50. Worries about rip-offs should be offset by the massive paper (email) trail of working together, possibly exchange of snailmail signed pledges.
So, come one come all, pick a project and get the details. Meanwhile, I'll be working on my other projects
