Yes, good observation: it seems that different types of writing pair better with some collaboration strategies than others. Hi Julia.

Generally it was for a presentation that all of us were responsible for. We each took a section worked on it and came back to the group. For my personal writing I have never used this approach. I always have others review and comment on my work before publishing. I have used the collaborative approach to generate ideas.

I don't know about the program you're using, but in terms of the content, you might try running your ideas by someone you respect as a fellow writer or editor, and asking for feedback. If this exercise reveals that there are a lot of holes in your concept, then working with someone might be a good idea. If not, then it would make sense to complete your draft on your own, and then present it to someone for editing. Hope that helps! Hi MJ.

My issue is in using the program to its fullest capability. I only use the "Script Panel" but am unsure if this is the way to get everything I can from the program. I suppose I'm overwhelmed and wonder if I <i>need </i>to have someone to work with me on my plight, or if I should complete the basics and have someone go over the script with me.
