You never know what client is just around the corner or exactly how a book will turn out.<br /><br />I echo Mark - I think a general fascination with the world helps prepare a ghostwriter to tackle completely different books, one right after the other.<br /><br />I am sincerely looking forward to the rest of my career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501318815429056576.post-40266657288919488032011-03-19T00:47:17.090-07:002011-03-19T00:47:17.090-07:00I've turned from fiction writing to ghostwriti...I've turned from fiction writing to ghostwriting after trying to get a debut lit-fiction novel published in the recession (about as easy as finding Wally after four tequila slammers), but already I've entered worlds and discovered things I would never have otherwise experienced.
