Also have your partner read the rules. And, like it says on the wiki, try switching places to gain perspective.

Yes, get practice as both. You could be spontaneously switched.

My partner and I work really well together. I'm a writer and she's a builder. We tried switching positions, and to make an understatement, WE FAILED. Luckily, it was only a practice.
The problem was that she didn't really know how to describe things, and I had a problem understanding what she was telling me to do, so I ended up putting stuff in the wrong places because she wasn't specific enough, or because I just have a hard time understanding building stuff.

Yeah, the point of switching is just to have the experience of doing the other side so that if you are usually the writer, you will know how much detail is needed or what might be confusing and if you are the builder you will realize how stuff looks from the writer's point of view and maybe realize what the writer means with certain phrasing. It's not to switch it for good or anything.

Like Gemma W said - put yourself in your partner's shoes when writing or building. Try to imagine what they were (or will be) thinking.
