It's not a big problem. We can start by reading some of each other's writing to get a feel for our styles. Then, when we write together, we can be conscious of how our styles interact. We can also have discussions about how we want the overall tone of the novel to be. If one of us has a more complex or flowery style, we can simplify it a bit when it comes to parts where simplicity is key, and vice versa. This way, we can create a unique and engaging novel.
Well, first we need to decide on a genre. It could be a mystery, a romance, or something else. Then we can start thinking about the characters. Who are they? What are their personalities like? After that, we can come up with a basic plot.
I recommend 'Turn, Give Up, and Separate'. This was the final chapter of the short trilogy. It was a semi-sci-fi fantasy with all kinds of reversals, choices, and bizarre stories. The story was super exciting. The author specialized in writing short stories of high quality. His previous works were great. Although this one was updated every month, it was worth watching. " Creator of Entertainment " was not bad either. The author was someone else's kitten. The style of writing was fresh and refined. The protagonist was cold and pretentious but not annoying. The female protagonist was very special. Although it was mainly plagiarized, it was creative and involved many interesting books. However, the author's slow update was a flaw, so he had to be mentally prepared. Overall, it was a good book. There was also 'Another World Under My Pen' written on a straw mat. This was the urban plagiarist type, but there was no common cliché plot. The protagonist copied the eagle and even died. It was very real. Although there were some minor problems in the later stages, the overall style was fresh and suitable for reading when there was a shortage of books.
