LWW25: Dishing the Dirt on Collaboration
TB is impressed with Clare’s pronunciation of kaleidoscopic. Clare confesses she can pronounce complicated words but can’t read the alphabet. TB can’t do either.
TB just returned from a weekend in New York City and completely nerded out by purchasing one of the ugliest history T-shirts she’s ever owned. Also, while in the Big Apple, she had a chance to meet Lori Prince, one of her narrators. TB didn’t even realize she was networking. She’s a pro, folks, and can pretty much collaborate in her sleep.
Clare has had family over, and she’s been playing tourist guide. She doesn’t recommend sightseeing in London on a Saturday during a bike event. She’s also been sick, but she helped her parents celebrate their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. Huge congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Lydon!
This week’s topic involves collaboration, which is something the duo knows about. TB provides background about why and when she first started thinking about networking. Bottomline, TB took it seriously because she thought her career was over due to not getting a work permit when she moved to Ireland in 2016, which meant she couldn’t publish for over a year, and she had to think outside the box. That’s how I Heart Lesfic and the new release newsletter came into being.
Clare used to think collaboration wasn’t for her since she’s an introvert. Her first collaboration involved a joint sale with TB and Harper Bliss. The bigger yes came when Harper asked Clare to cowrite Once Upon a Princess, which was a project that was out of her comfort zone. That was the very reason why Clare said yes. Now that’s bold!
The Lesbians Who Write podcast came into being via one of the best collaborations. Enough said!
The big takeaway about collaboration is to keep an open mind. It can be a rewarding experience, but make sure you know and trust the person/people involved in the project. Clare sums it up best: it’s “so much fun to have friends.”
