Highlights - HENRIK FEXEUS - Mentalist, Author & TV Host - The Art of Reading Minds, Mind Melt
“The thing is, we didn't know either because both Camilla Läckberg and I, we don't like working with other people. So how do we do this now that there are two of us? And so the way the story came about was that I had this idea about a mentalist - Vincent. And I had this ordeal that I wanted to put him through, and I discussed it with Camilla, who's always been a long-time friend, and she added some ideas and then we realized that, Oh, hang on, we actually have something together here. So then we needed to write it together.
Some people assume that it's Camilla writing, and I'm sort of providing her with information, but that's not how it is at all. What we've been doing is that since we had sort of the overall structure, we meet once a week and then we look at, Okay, where are we now? What are our characters doing and what do they need to do next? So we find like 10 scenes. We don't call them chapters because most of the time they're not. But they are scenes that need to happen. And then she goes away and writes five of them. And I go away, and I write five of them. And if she just wrote about some of the police personnel perhaps in the book, then it's my turn to write about the police. If I wrote about the mentalist, then she's going to write about the mentalist next. So it won't be that I'm always writing the same character, and she's not writing the same character. So we are doing that, and then we meet up. And then we're like, okay, where are we now? What's happened? What's going to happen next?
When that's done, we send each other each other's texts, and then we are free to change whatever we want. So in the final book, we've written about 50% of each of the text, but we don't even know any longer who wrote who some of the time because we've been both in there and changing things around because we wanted to find a unique voice that was our voice. We wanted it to be different from if you open another book just by Camilla or just by me.”
