What’s in a collaboration?

The writer: an isolated, even introverted hermit, locked up in a ridiculously aesthetic study, surrounded by crumpled up pieces of paper, bookshelves of people who did it better, and the final sad tatters of their dreams.

Today, we deny such preconceptions. The writer’s life need not be solitary, especially when collaboration is so damn fun. Between editing a friend’s work, scripting a more visual piece of art, or even co-writing entire books together, collaborating offers a world of unique experiences for the modern writer. What does it take to do so, however? What is the difference between writing alone and writing with another?
