I don't have an opinion on whether it's better to collaborate or do everything oneself. I find collaborating more satisfying than working alone, no matter what sort of project I'm collaborating on, but that's just me. If I had been able to develop the skills to be a good composer or artist, I'm not sure I'd want to work with a writer. But as a writer it does get frustrating to be in an environment where there are more writers available than there is demand for them, with the resulting implications that writing might be somehow less valuable or less difficult than other art forms.
