Saguaro Cacti Outside of Tucson

The ghostwriting job I have that’s set in Arizona is going quite well. I’ve gotten 8,000+ words done, and I’m already starting on the next installment of 4,000 words.

Although I had this story idea many years ago, I could never get it started. With the help of my client, it’s going so well I’m having trouble believing it myself. The few tweaks that she made gave me better ideas, and I’m now able to know where my characters are heading in this ghostwriting project. I’m so grateful that this book is finally getting written!

Do I get paid a lot for ghostwriting? Not for this project – only a penny a word. Would I like to earn more? Sure, wouldn’t anybody? But I so enjoy it that I really don’t care too much.

I can’t wait until I finish this ghostwriting project a month from now and can (hopefully) get permission to advertise it on this site. Since it won’t be under my name as author, though, I’ll have to add a section for other authors. Or possibly I’ll have a link to it another way.

This is the type of landscape one could imagine in the western serial novella that I’m ghostwriting.

It’s so exciting to be working on something that I truly love. The “Wild West” is where I live, and Tucson was one of the wildest places here. To be able to immerse myself in a piece of romantic fiction that I’m able to use my knowledge that I’ve learned through the Bisbee Corral of the Westerners, of which I’m secretary, is a real joy to me.

I love writing, but while my own books sit on Amazon.com at the moment, I can work on a ghostwriting project to kind of support my obsession. I’ve been researching things such as the Chiricahua Apache and Cochise, stagecoaches, the Santa Fe Trail, Conestoga wagons, and steamboats. Since my second love is research, I’m in writer’s heaven right now.

With the first installment of a five-installment ghostwriting project finished and ready to go out tomorrow morning.

I just contracted to do an historical romance ghostwriting job and won’t be working on my own book for a while. I really enjoy ghostwriting, and I am anticipating that this one is a first in a series.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to give details on this ghostwriting project someday, but right now, my lips are sealed. The story is started and the synopsis fleshed out, so it shouldn’t take me too long to get moving on the project.

I’m very excited.
