From the readings my interpretation is collaborative writing is coming together, working together, and forming one piece of work. Fontaine and Hunter compare collaborative writing to doing a group project. The discuss how in school we have probably done at least one group project and the teacher would assign the group a specific topic and then the group would go from there and your grade was most likely a representation of your group participation. Ede and Lunsford talk about how they were two completely different people with different writing tactics and they learned to work together to write a good piece.

In our groups we are working together on our project and that enough is collaborative writing. After each class we gather in a group and discuss some questions we have for one another. We also discuss the interviews that we have set up and how we could go with each other to the interviews in partners instead of going alone. We each work on little things on the days that we have off and then when we have classes on Monday's and Wednesday's we like to discuss what we have come up with so far and what else we need to work on. We all have different ways that we like to do things but we come together and combine all of our ideas, schedules, and work so far into one and make it work. I think as a group we are doing a great job at collaborative writing so far.
