Have recently had some magical experiences as a Script Consultant, which has evolved into collaborating and co-writing/rewriting scripts. When that 'creative synchronicity' kicks in...wow! Just wondering whether other writers prefer writing alone, or collaboratively? Or does it depend on the type of project?

Expand commentI've done both. I love brainstorming with my partner. He has great visual ideas and comes up with some very cool plot twists. I have learned so much from his style and experience. But really all screenwriting is a collaboration. Even when I have written solo, the director or producer adds his input and asks for changes. It's only a solo gig until it's optioned or in preproduction!

Collaboration is a great way to begin learning how to accept other ideas and criticism. It's also a great way to help fight writers block.

Expand commentWorking on a TV pilot which although sometimes borders on madness, has been a necessary solo process. Speaking of collaborations however, mine have mainly been in the songwriting field...some inspiring, some like getting my teeth drilled. What I like best? When egos are shelved, feeling free to throw all ideas into the pot no matter how stupid you think they may be and voila! A delicious stew...or not, but all great learning!

For me it depends on the project. I'm working on expanding my second book into a "brand" and it definitely requires the collaboration of others. :)
It depends.There are scripts I will need somebody to assist me
