Yes, ghostwriters do write celebrity bios. However, besides celebrity bios, ghostwriters are employed to write books and E-books on any topic imaginable. Here is a sample of some current ghostwriting requests: A detailed fantasy novel along lines of Stephen Wiess A book discussing importance of detoxification by way of nutrition and other means. The 100 best science fair projects E-book on skin care for African American women. Outlook: Very good for writers who have already published a book. If you have not published a book, you should try to have samples of large-scale projects that you have worked on, such as manuals, study guides, and so on. Ghostwriting books requires patience, organization, listening abilities, and perseverance. Before you sign up for a ghostwriting project, be sure that you feel comfortable working with subject material and author.

I chose my domain name: thepowerofeverythingthatis.com. It’s my own name-no one else on Earth can have it. I own it. I picked a nice picture out for background-it looks really sweet, much better than a blank sheet in a diary. I got it from a site that gives photos out without charging a royalty (the first few): www.istockphoto.com.

I just want you to know great feeling I got when I first typed in my domain name and my site came up! It was equivalent to a person who’s afraid of heights being accepted into an astronaut’s mission into outer space. Or maybe it was like a turtle driving a Ferrari 300km per hour. Possibly it was like all ants in world getting together for peace talks.

It’s a real blast having this blog. I can write on it any time, anywhere, from my laptop, at an Internet café etc. I can write as much as I want, and I’m hoping one day my writing may inspire others to communicate with me about subjects that I’m interested in.

Look, if you like writing about anything, and want to have your thoughts and opinions on Internet, maybe meeting others similar to yourself in progress; you have to get a blog and get it now. Don’t be afraid any longer, world is in palm of your hands; it’s time to get on!
