The two of you hit it off, and you find out they're a writer, too. Even better, they write in the same space you do, and like a revelation from up high, you know that you're meant to be co-authors.

Unless there’s a reason to quote (e.g., statutory language or when the original writer matters), explain things using your own, simple, words.
