How do I break up with my writing partner without causing permanent damage to our relationship?

Todd, Los Angeles

Youre so thoughtful!

Youre already 20 steps ahead and a better friend than most.

Many writing partnerships benefit early on in staffing a team costs the same as one solo writer.

Empire-building does not sound like the foundation of your current partnership.

And if you arent interested in the same projects, thats tough.

Its time to give each other some room to figure out your own creative journeys.

First, be honest.

Thats just like breaking up with someone for their own good, and it feels gross.

You sort of glance over the fear of branching out on your own, but you will be okay.

There is a rush involved in pursuing dreams that are just yours.

This isnt to say hell love what you put out there.

Be prepared for anger.

When I leave (close) work relationships, I go a little overboard.

Neither of them liked it, but we have transitioned nicely into pure friendships.

And its not even like your work relationship is over forever!
