Answers to the Writing AMA

I did a writing AMA yesterday.

As promised, the answers to the writing AMA are officially delivered. I sound like someone who swallowed a sandpaper which occasionally chooses to move through my throat, as evidenced by my cracking voice…but I blame my allergies for that.

There are ten writing questions and ten writing answers. If you don’t want to listen to the blah-blah, the TL;DL – Too Long; Didn’t Listen version is mentioned right under the question here.

Enjoy!

Question 1: What is ghost-writing?

TL;DL: You write a book using someone else’s concepts/ideas/life stories for upfront pay and no credit.

Question 2: What is your process of ghost-writing a book?

TL;DL: Understand the client’s concept/idea/story – conduct intensive research – arrange the research using colour coding – prepare the book’s skeleton – start writing. 

Question 3: Can anyone be a content writer or does it require something special?

TL;DL: Yes. It’s mostly about having basic working knowledge of a language and knowing how to google smartly.

Question 4: Which kind of rhetorical form do you like to use the most?

TL;DL: My order of rhetorical preference is Expository>Descriptive>Persuasive>Narrative.

Disclaimer: There's a lag with ?? video. The video begins at the 2:15 timestamp. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Question 5: Why did you choose writing as your profession?

TL;DL: Always wrote, knew I would be a bad engineer, MBA wasn’t my cup of tea, wanted to become a writer; luckily got lucky.

Question 6: How to find clients as a freelancer?

TL;DL: Via referrals and hashtags.

Question 7: What is your brainstorming technique?

TL;DL: Read a lot of stuff on the topic; think a lot about the stuff I read; make connections; go OHHHHH!

Question 8: Do you feel bad about not getting ghost-writing credits?

TL;DL: No because I use ghost-writing as my practice ground.

Question 9: What’s your biggest writing enemy?

TL;DL: Me and Time.

Question 10: Was writing a choice you made or something made you choose?

TL;DL: It’s a choice I made.

That’s a wrap folks ??

I hope the answers were satisfactory.
