She quotes the feminist literary critics Carey Kaplan and Ellen C. Rose, who collaborated in writing books: Our minds meet in the air between us and we achieve, at our best, an unfettered, creative, generous reciprocity.\u2026 \u201cShe\u201d and \u201cI\u201d metamorphose into \u201cwe,\u201d hypothetical, invisible, yet nonetheless articulate.\u2026 We learned first that we could sit together before a computer and write sentences that worked even better than did sentences we wrote alone. The famous anthropologists Elinor Ochs and Bambi Schieffelin have engaged in a lifelong collaboration.<\/p>\n

They talked constantly, took notes together, and analyzed transcripts of children talking together: We would always have the typewriter right there and we would switch off writing and talking.\u2026 We did not ever allocate parts of the paper to one person or another person but we actually [discussed]\u2026 every single sentence.\u2026 We would both kind of think of the next thing to say and then\u2026<\/p>\n

paraphrase one another. Claude Monet spoke of the famous creative circle of fellow impressionist painters\u2014Alfred Sisley, Auguste Renoir, Paul C\u00e9zanne, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro\u2014who supported each other in Paris during their early years of rejection: Your mind was held in suspense all the time, you spurred the others on to sincere, disinterested inquiry and were spurred on yourself, you laid in a stock of enthusiasm that kept you going for weeks on end until you could give final form to the idea you had in mind.<\/p>\n

You always went home afterwards better steeled for the fray, with a new sense of purpose and a clearer head. This wasn\u2019t just a matter of talking at the caf\u00e9 while taking time off from the studio; these painters often went to the countryside together. Renoir and Monet painted together frequently in the summer of 1869, setting up their canvases side by side, monitoring each other\u2019s paintings, and discussing what they were doing.<\/p>\n
