Choose a sharing boundary for a joint writing exercise

Agree on what will be shared before either person begins writing personal material.

Try this

  1. Decide whether you will exchange whole pages, selected sentences, or only a spoken summary.
  2. Give each person the option to keep their work private afterward. Avoid using a shared document if private drafting is part of the exercise.

A worked example

“Let’s each write privately for a few minutes, then choose whether there is one sentence we want to share.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not treat participation in writing as consent to reveal the result. The sharing choice should remain explicit after the words exist.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
