I hope you can read these. A good friend of mine (you could even
call her by her nickname, Savvy) had these glasses made for me as
a congratulations on the release of Tidewater Murder. They read from
left to right: SLADE, WAYNE, MONROE, SAVVY. How cool is that to
have glasses depicting my four main characters?

I HAVE A LIFE

When writers complain about not having the time to promote, network, or
write for several days in a row, the most common reason I hear is this:

I have a life.

I heard it again this week, from a writer I know. He was preparing a query
letter for agents, and the last competition he'd placed in was in 2000.
I told him to name the contest, but leave off the year, explaining that
an agent might ask what the heck he'd been doing since then and now, and
why it took him so long to start querying. He literally said, "I've been
living my life."

That bothers me. It's as if writing, promoting, querying and networking
are not a part of their lives.

We all have friends and/or family that consume much of our days.
Many of us have jobs that suck up hours of our waking moments.
We come home tired or we prefer the social exchange with our loved ones.
Everybody gets that. That's a big fat DUH. All writers have that problem
...that problem of finding the balance.

But your writing success, like any other success in your life, depends
upon how much of your day you are willing to invest into it. That's not
a good or bad thing. That's just pure, unadulterated fact.

We know you have a life. All of us have lives. You aren't better than
me, or the writer down the street, or the author you admire online,
or the freelancer on Facebook. Every single one of them has a life, too.

I'm often asked how I find the time to write, promote and travel. I never
know how to answer. My days have 24 hours in them like anyone else's. My
clock commences when I rise and stops when I shut my eyes at night. What's
accomplished in between depends on what drives me.

There's nothing wrong with admitting:

1) Being a huge writing success isn't a driving factor for you.

2) You don't care to promote and you accept the fact you'll sell less.

3) You prefer doing other things in lieu of writing and promoting.

I ate lunch with an intriguing attendee at the West Virginia Writer's
Conference last weekend. She ran marathons. She was in her late-sixties.
Her legs looked better than mine and she wore shorts without blushing.
I told her how impressed I was with her achievements in that arena.

She said that it's all in just wanting to do it. She didn't run her
first marathon until she was fifty. Friggin' wow. I asked how she achieved
that level of running.

She replied: "When I come home from work, I can write, take a nap, or go
for a run. I usually go for a run."

Amazed, I said: "I would choose to write."

With an all-knowing grin, she said: "If I wrote like you, I'd choose
writing, too."

And at that moment I realized writing was my marathon running.

What defines your life? Your days? What is your achievement?
Whether it's running or writing or some other feat, own it. Don't
make excuses for what you choose not to do. Enjoy to the fullest
those things you choose to do.

So the next time you think about saying, "But I have a life," try to
realize that you are only making an excuse . . . because everybody
has a life. It just may not be like yours.

THE SHY WRITER REBORN
An Introvert's Wake-Up Call

Shy types, rejoice! Introversion may seem like a major obstacle to building
a successful writing career, but this wonderful “covers-all-the-bases” book
handily debunks the notion. The only bad news? You’ll have no more excuses
not to succeed! Highly recommended.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up.

Ghostwriting: A Peek Into This Hidden But Potentially Lucrative Market

By Jeannine Ouellette

Most writers probably associate ghostwriting with well-credentialed
writers who pump out autobiographies, business books, and other tomes
for stars, financiers, doctors, and other wealthy would-be-authors who
lack the skills, time, or willingness to write the book themselves.

But there’s more to ghostwriting than these high profile but hard-to-land
gigs. For the last decade, I’ve earned a good chunk of my total writing
income through ghostwriting or “collaborating.” None of this work has
been for celebrity clients. Accomplished individuals, yes, but
celebrities … no.

I collaborated with with a doctor on a book about caring for your
aging loved one. And I ghostwrote a memoir for a fascinating woman who grew
up with missionary parents in Brazil in the 1940s. She self-published. In
both of those cases, I was paid a flat rate of about $30K. I’m currently
ghostwriting another book for the memoir client, a novel based on some of
her later real-life experiences. I’m also working on an organizational
biography for the founder of an international medical charity. For that
project, I’m working on a flat rate plus a percentage of sales. I also got
to travel to Peru and Mexico several times. Finally, I also crank out
e-books (under a pseudonym) for health and wellness website clients for whom
I typically do article writing.

My fee has ranged from $15 to $40K, determined by the client’s budget and
ability to publish the work. If the client is in a position to publish
(has an agent and a reasonable chance of landing a publisher and/or the
means and intent to self-publish), I’ll accept a lower up front fee plus
a percentage of sales (so far, that’s ranged from 5% to 12.5% and applies
to projects still in progress, so I can’t say yet whether the gamble will
pay off). Contracts also spell out approximate page count, my role in
revisions, and a payment schedule.

I set my wages based on Writer’s Market’s “How Much Should I Charge?”
and I share that with clients, since they won’t usually have a clear
idea what ghostwriting costs. It lends my bid credibility and possibly
quells clients’ fears about being overcharged.

As I said, my clients are not celebs; they’re business owners, doctors,
and regular people with stories to tell. What they have in common is the
means to pay a writer. This much, I ascertain before sinking time or
effort into the process. Otherwise, I’m wasting my time and theirs. I
suggest that writers exploring ghostwriting learn to talk about money
early in the process—even if it means quoting a ballpark rate range in
an email after your first meeting.

Most of my clients have come from word of mouth; i.e., editors and
publishers for whom I write articles or other projects pass my name
along to someone who needs to hire a writer. However, the woman for
whom I’m on my second book (the memoir about Brazil and now the novel,
two of my favorite ghostwriting projects) came from my bidding on Elance
years ago. I’ve since stopped bidding on Elance, because the bidding
seems dominated by writers willing to work for fractions of pennies per
word, which leads clients to expect such rates as reasonable, and I’m
not going there.

Finding projects “word of mouth” may seem daunting to the beginner.
My advice would be to politely and enthusiastically contact all of
your writing clients (and other logical contacts) to announce that
you’re expanding your services to include book-length work. Sometimes,
a client doesn’t know they want a book written until the idea is planted.
Make sure, though, that you have the chops to complete a book-length
project for a client who knows little about the writing process, let
alone the collaborative writing process, which can be complex and messy,
and which requires excellent communication skills on the part of the
writer. To describe this more fully will require an entirely separate
article!

technology, pop-culture, entertainment or women's issues angle. You must
have a strong platform or be considered an expert in your field. On the
adult side, seeks only romance titles with protagonists who appeal to
younger women. Not interested in picture books, chapter books, younger
middle grade stories or adult titles (other than romance).

Suzie's interested in strong characters and voice driven stories: she's
particularly keen on strong female protagonists, complex plot lines
with underlying political, moral, or philosophical issues, and stories
which break out of the typical tropes of their genre.
