Ghostwriting may be one of the (more) most likely ways to get to write for large and important readers/audiences. Plus, you get paid often well to write about a range of topics you otherwise never could, and to meet interesting, otherwise inaccessible people. All of that, plus a flexible schedule. But you do need to forgo the glory of seeing your name in print. Consider any writing career only if you like the process of writing, whether or not your name appears on the product.
Of course, to be a professional writer, you must write powerfully and quickly those with writer's block need not apply. Ghostwriters also must be excellent interviewers, able to unearth the factual and emotional nuggets that lie within your client. Too, you must be able to capture your client's voice and to gracefully accept their seemingly foolish edits.
One way to land a good ghostwriting project is to contact a famous person you respect and ask if he or she would like you to ghostwrite an autobiography. If so, you develop an outline together and submit the proposal to publishers, usually through an agent. Another source of celebrity ghostwriting work: writing speeches and articles for politicians or business leaders. You can also ghostwrite for just plain folks: websites, family histories, or Grandpa's memoir. You'll have an edge if you specialize in science, autobiography, history, politics, or business.
The main potential downside of ghostwriting is that it isn't as freely creative as writing your own thoughts. You're writing your clients' ideas, not your own, and in their voice, not yours. Of course, by handpicking for whom you're writing, you're unlikely to feel unhappy about that. And ghosting is a great option if you're looking to get well paid for writing without having to write ad copy or for trade publications.

What about today?
Today's journey is quite like any other day. What's amaze me first was the traffic that was gone and brought me to my office a little early than I expected...hhhmmm very nice.
After some short hours of morning working hours, we had our lunch at one of the famous Italian restaurant near our office. I chose to eat pizza and pasta while my friends chose flavored rice and 2 pieces chicken. I use to expect the real Italian taste on my pasta, by the way it was Pasta Alfredo, but still like I used to get, nothing really beats the Italian pasta taste I experienced in Japan. I missed it so much...but nevertheless, the moment I had plus the chats alongside made the moment irreplaceable at all. hehehe...
In the afternoon, work was continued.... then after a long day working hours...going home finally came, we take the same route as everyday..I dropped at some grocery shop to buy one latest facial cosmetic product. But after some searching even at drugstore, what I want is what other wanted to and so its all gone...hhmmm why do they like it too? hehehe... I wondered, the same scenario do happened to me just last week on a different product...funny ne..hehehe. Then I was home finally...
At home...I played with my sister's babies for some hours while watching my favorite tv dramas...then open my pc and be a parttime freelance blogger/writer... prepared to sleep then my today ended...
For tomorrow...I hope to have the same or better day... see you tomorrow!!!

Waking up.....
After more than a half year...I decided to continue my journey in the field of blogging. I am doing this from now on to share my thoughts after some remarkable experience towards my journey to life.
I hope that some of you, not all... would take time to join me on this wonderful journey... a journey in spite of the ongoing crisis chose to remain calm and happy, for being happy within will make other people happy too. hehehe... "why your mind can conceive, your body can achieve" and so thus influence others.
Till tomorrow...see you!
