Hi jdd

Yes I'll still help you do a book if you want. I am starting a law degree in February 06 and re doing my e-business so I don't have stacks of time, but I'm always up for writing projects.

Yes, I will be writing more books. Writing and selling books is what I do. The next one I intend to do is about natural childbirth and the dangers of childbirth medications and interventions.

I can still help you, though, as I usually work on more than 1 thing at once. It will take a long time though. I've been working on my book for 2 years now and only just near finished.

Ghost writing is when I write it for you, using your story and then it is printed in your name, not mine, but I take a percentage of the profits. Loads of people in the Royal Family have done this and other famous people.

Or you could write it yourself and then give me the chapters to read through so I can strengthen your scenes or add my suggestions for how you could improve it.

You first need a synopsis, which is a basic plotline of what your story is about and it helps you to write by giving you a direction to go in.
It also helps publishers when they are considering whether to print your book. They usually ask for the synopsis first, to help them decide whether they are interested in the book.

I continually add to mine to help me 'build' the scenes in my book, which helps if I'm stuck with writer's block. Quite often I will go back into a scene after I've written it and add more, and my synopsis is valuable in enabling me to do this more easily.

If you are interested, email me on greekgoddess472@hotmail.com and we can discuss it some more.

I understand you're an artist - this would be very helpful to me as I'd love to do children's books at some point but need an illustrator

Best Wishes jdd, and forget about that XW of yours. You have so much to offer the world.

Jo.
