In another thread where it was mentioned that James Patterson used a ghost writer, I noticed that many people said that they want to write their own books in their own style.
My question is: What’s so bad about using a ghost writer?
I mean, This Patterson fellow may be on to something, don’t you think?
He’s probably out there sipping pina coladas on a cruise ship in the Bahamas, or playing 18 holes at Pebble Beach, or maybe getting a nice tan in Waikiki while someone else is slaving away at a keyboard.
I’m honestly having difficulty wondering what’s wrong with this picture.
Note:
I'm editing this post to clarify the question.
Would you use a ghost writer to help you become famous?
Once famous, would you use a ghost writer to free up your life so you could enjoy all that money?
