Terminal trickery, or how to improve a novel immeasurably

Re: Novel interference

I find a lot of rubbish that I can't possibly have written.

I remember reading an interview with Neil Gaiman - or it might have been Sir Terry - about the writing process for Good Omens.

Because NG was in the USA at the time, and ST was in the UK, they would take turns to each fax the other the bit they’d written while the other was asleep.

Which worked fine until they found marvellous bits of prose in the growing document that both would swear they hadn’t written.
