If I learned anything during my ghostwriting experience it is that I would have to be getting paid a very large sum or money if I was to make it my profession.
Writing as another human being, someone with different interests, different ideas and even a different level of ability was very difficult. Unfortunately for me, I chose an author with a writing style that was slightly more complex than my own. Several times during my writing I was forced to stop myself and delete entire paragraphs saying, "this is me writing, not Sam."
Putting all that aside, the experience was quite, enjoyable. I was happy to broaden my boarders and sample a perspective different than my own. Writing for an audience wide enough to not know me by name (my own or not) was kind of exciting. Writing a newspaper article brings with it a lot of power--especially when you are responsible for reviewing a new CD. Whether my review is positive or negative could drastically alter the number of albums sold on campus. Such power is not easily attained.
Although I am happy to have the assignment behind me, I would not close the door on the idea of attempting such an activity again. Certainly the experience is one that I will not soon forget.
