So everyone wants to be heralded for their own writing... but is this at the detriment of the story itself?
If one has a very very very long story a which will take them forever to write - is it not best to 'hire' people if one can (by charge or for free) so that one can spend time on the essence (whilst overlooking the presentation) developing more time to story development (Lucas)
Would this not make half the stories out there better but it may mean genuine talent may be diluted
Ghost writing tends to have a feeling that one is 'copping out' of the work load or not being able to divulge thoroughly oneself (for a variety of reasons) BUT it may help drive a project further and farther than one thought possible?
If not Ghost write - would you give away your 'idea' for a collaboration and share the name on the cover just to quicken the project?
I guess the question is about speed in the end. Ideas can take forever... efficiency & the loss of integrity are the price for shortcuts.
I personally want to be the sole creator as there is only me that writes like me... but I have other stories that I would like to write which just seem a million years away at the moment as I am always working on one very long and complex project but I do not want the other ideas to get wasted.
