The subject matter to this one is something I will be very eager to read.<br /><br />Honestly I am not the one to be whip cracking.<br /><br />I've written a book once with another person. The royalties were split 70:30 in my favour but that meant that I, rather than she, was ultimately responsible for delivering the manuscript so I was having to chivvy her along. Which made a nice change!<br /><br />Would love to know who you ghost wrote for. Give us some hints in future posts and it will be like an Agatha Christie. I sort of did it once - not sure ghost writer is quite the right term for what I did. He paced up and down whilst I took notes verbatim and then went home and tried to shape it into some sort of order, give it some coherency, work out chapter headings etc, until we had a book. It was a weird task because I couldn't really say to anyone I'd done it, felt out of place at the launch party and got a tiny dedication. I'd still do it again though!<br /><br />By the way, that photo is almost identical to one that I chose for something. It might even be the same one. Spooky.<br /><br />Sorry for the essay!Deer Babyhttp://deerbaby.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
