Like I said, you're not the kind to see another perspective. What's more you don't seem to understand the bigger picture. If this is your response I don't see any point wasting my time explaining something over and over and over again.
I don't get what you are trying to explain, and you seem to only focus on repeating it instead of actually explaining. I want to have a conversation, not a prompt to have you repeat the same thing as if an rpg npc.
And you mostly seem focused on cbob "splitting his work with other people", while the part he is having trouble with is just the writing right now.
Meaning split... what?
Proofreading, editing, those things are to be done
afterwards.
Coding is not the issue right now, meaning giving it to someone else would make no difference.
The most I can think he can do now is give his notes to another writer so they can try to put them in there for him, and then he reviews.
Which is what you seem to think is useless.
I can accept someone else writing the meat of the book, but I want to read the ending of
cbob's story.
Silmarillon, for example, was done putting together Tolkien's notes and finishing the pieces in-between. Some places feel a bit different, since they were finished by someone else, but it is clearly still Tolkien's story.
Compare it to Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy 6, written by someone else as a sequel to book 5. The author had no notes or anything, not even plans to write that book as far as I know. That s just official fanfiction in his universe. Good one, the author of that book is the same one from Artemis Fowl, but it is clearly his story there, not a plot from Adams, while you read it.
