It's taken me eighteen long years to get here, but I've finally made it and I can now officially call myself a full time writer.

But I'm not the kind of writer I thought I would be. I thought I'd be getting my articles published in magazines, and I've long held a dream of getting a novel published.

But things are very different. I have ended up finding my niche in online writing - ghostwriting and copywriting, more specifically, although ghostwriting seems to take up the majority of my time.

So here is my hub about that very subject. The aim of this hub is to share my experiences of being a full time ghostwriter. I'm just entering my eighth week as a full timer now, and I already have plenty of experiences to share!

Keep tabs on my hub as it develops, because I am planning to let you in on the secret of just what a day in the life of a ghostwriter is really like - as well as revealing exactly how you can get there too.

Take a look round and enjoy what's here! It's good to have you.

Hazard #1 - I'm feeling tired today. I'm still getting used to the process of juggling work as and when it comes in. Ghostwriting jobs are plentiful but it's still sometimes a case of feast or famine - you never get a steady run of it!

Before this I used to manage part time ghostwriting work with a full time job as well. How on earth did I do that?!

How do YOU work? Do you write around a full time job or are you a full time writer?

Hazard #2 - Do you ever get weeks where you have tons of work but you can't seem to focus on anything for any length of time?

It's tempting to have lots of time off when you work from home, but sometimes you can go the other way and work too much. How many hours do you spend on your writing every day? Too many or not enough?

Share your experiences here - I'll be updating this hub again soon with more fresh content so call again!

Hazard #3 - Okay here's a question. What do you do when you have a long day's work set up to do and you just can't seem to get anything done? Do you eventually give up and try something else, knowing you'll have to find some way to catch up again the next day?

I had a day like that yesterday. I normally get up and start writing at around seven am, but I ended up staying up til 3am as that was when everything started flowing! Do you change your timetable to fit in your writing when it flows?
