見知らぬ子供に、横断歩道で指をつかまれた夏

妻と二人三脚で小説を書いています。

Why am I writing a novel with two people?

 My wife and I wrote the novel I posted the other day, "come to Know," together.

 

 My wife came up with the original idea, I wrote it based on it, she added to it and revised it, and I further processed it to finish it.

 

 Of course, there will still be many poor parts, and I don't know if they will be interesting or not.

 

 But the attempt itself is a fun one.

 

Characterize the ideas of others. Expand them. There are ideas that you could not have come up with on your own. You will see paths you never thought of.

 

 And, of course, perhaps I should be doing that alone, and many people probably do, but unfortunately, with my poor imagination, I can't think of what to write about in the first place. This is a fatal flaw for anyone who wants to write.

 

My wife specializes in reading and is not a writer herself, but perhaps that is why she comes up with one story after another. She has the joy of unbridled imagination. My wife is naturally more creative than I am, but my desire to write is stronger than hers.

 

 Then we decided to do it together.

 

 What do you think?

 

 It is a strange form, but I will try to write in this way in the future.

 

 Oh, I just thought of translating it into English.

 

 It's translation software, so it must be weird. I would like to be able to speak English.
