Nothing to do with my post. This is one of the beautiful bouquets that arrive every month - last year's Christmas present from my mother. |
I recently found out that Lars Keppler is a pseudonym for the husband-and-wife writing team of Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril.
It's fascinating to hear how they work. Apparently, they sit side by side at a desk with two
computers. Each writes a scene and then after about twenty minutes they email
each other their writing which they then add to and edit. This happens over and
over again until they forget who’s written what.
A fascinating interview with
them can be watched on the Richard and Judy Reading Groups for Everyone site.
I asked my husband if he could imagine writing a book with me this way and his reply was:
'No, because you would edit and cut everything I wrote, whereas I wouldn't dare change anything you'd written.'
How well he knows me!
Hi Wendy, it would be a recipe for disaster for me and my husband, but, i suppose with the right people, it could very creative – and obviously has been! Lovely pic and what a great Christmas present – I think I may pinch the idea for my daughter 's present this xmas:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Marianne.
ReplyDeleteYes, the flowers are a great present - they get sent from Cornwall and it is always exciting opening the box when they arrive as they are different each month.
