Saves privately on this device. No account needed.
Plan the experience
Planning estimates, not a price quote or a deadline. Your version may vary.
- Time
- One shared session plus a later editing pass.
- Cost
- Free using paper or a shared document you already have.
- Where
- Together at a table or remotely in a shared document.
Before you start
Choose a short form: a poem, a scene, a letter or a small essay. Agree who it is for, how long it should be, and whether it will stay private. Set a finish date and decide how you will credit both contributors.
How you would actually start
Agree on the starting idea
Each bring two possible subjects and choose one together. Write a one-sentence intention for the piece. Decide whether you will alternate sections, write simultaneously, or have one person draft while the other asks questions.
Draft without correcting every line
Make space for both voices before polishing. If you disagree about a sentence, keep both versions temporarily rather than stopping the session. Use comments to explain what you mean instead of silently replacing your friend’s contribution.
Read it aloud together
Listen for repetition and places where the voice changes unintentionally. Agree on the final edits, save a dated copy, and confirm consent before sharing it. Name one thing each person brought that would not have appeared in a solo draft.
What counts as done
You have a complete draft both people are comfortable calling a shared piece. Publication is optional.
Agree on permission and credit early. A friendship project should not turn into an unexpected public submission.
When you finish, mark it fulfilled in My list. You can remember it in your weekly journal.
