Working on a novel with a friend

Wow. A lot has happened since I had last had enough focus to get out here, most major event - me and my co-writer have a novel that has hit the halfway point in the dash to 150,000 words. Yay! Go us! Still in the very rough rough draft, not even to the end of what's doing on and plot wise we are less than a third of the way into it, but we are going along quite nicely and keeping one another hyper about the story and working on it.

Love writing with someone, but then this someone is someone that I have known for years and am closer to than any of my family aside from my dad (and my mom when she was alive). Writing with her is enjoyable and so easy to just relax into and feels far more like goofing off than work, even though there is serious work involved in the process. And more work as we get further into it and are looking into stuff that we need to make sure we understand. So I guess that is where a good part of my focus (what focus?) has been this past few weeks, is getting that novel started off and toward its goal of completion.
