I'm glad you share your experience. this is valuable information for me. moreover you, and I, both write novels.
But for me, this is not one novel done together. But each person wrote his own novel. The group is used as a space to encourage each other. So that we give each other criticism and suggestions, to solutions.
Glad to see you're in the comments. Stay healthy.
That's great, you will soon have your own full novel! It will be a large accomplishment. Good luck.
I hope so.
Thank you so much.
