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.

Copy"write"

I was quite sickened by the idea of ghostwriting. I simply do not understand how our society has gotten to a point in time when our culture is so money driven that we are willing to lie to our neighbors to make money. Any publishing company who willingly participates in this shameful practice should be shutdown.
I think the copy"write" laws need to be altered in such a manner that the true authors receive the credit they truly deserve--whether they want it or not. Because if you give them the option of receiving credit only the writers who choose not to take the credit will find work.
I know that I will be more cautious the next time that I go to the bookstore or the library. I just wish that the eyes of the rest of society would be opened in a similar way. Unfortunately not everyone can take this class. Maybe then changes would happen.
