Are there any other things in life besides being a GM that having

GMing has given me the ability to speak publicly and to BS my way through situations, that's pretty much it.

"You're late, what happened?"
"I was beset by wolves"
"You're fired."

You know, if you just fucking write you´ll eventually gain that knowledge and learn to write compellingly.

It´s like painting or playing a musical instrument. Everyone can write, but not everyone can be a writer. That takes as much dedication as being a painter or a musician.

Other than that... Well, there´s some platforms where you can sell ideas, but they´re more geared towards ideas for businesses and pay is miserable anyways unless you really hit it up several times.


There´s a couple possibilities that would fit you greatly, though. First one is the hardest: find someone who´s a good writer but awful at thinking up ideas and plots. Team up.
The second is just sorta expensive, at least until (if ever) you become successful: hire a ghostwriter to write your ideas compellingly, publish under your own name, repeat.

Ghostwritting is way more common than you may think, and a fair job for good writers who just want to write and prefer not to bother with everything else involved in producing your own book.

I've actually thought about hiring ghost writers. It costs thousands of dollars though.

If there's anything I've learned from trying to learn how to write, it's that most writers are fucking garbage at it, but they'll still get published and sell. Even stuff like Twilight, which breaks many rules of what makes "good" or "compelling" writing, can become a national phenomenon.

Yeah buts that's because of good marketing.

If you go to elite ones (or those with an overinflated ego and/or no real need for the money who are just fishing for a big job), then yes.

You can also get an Indian guy to ghostwrite for you in more or less correct English for a dollar a page.

I´m a translator and a writer myself, and I´ve been thinking on giving ghostwriting a try.

It´s a 10 minute email to avoid spam, but I´ll be refreshing it for the next hour. Tell me a little about your ideas, the amount of pages (just a rough approximation) it´d take and how much you´d be willing to pay, and maybe we can make some profit together.

Remember to include some other contact address I can write you back to from my real address.
