    O.k. I've already left some comments on this thread. Now I'm going pitch my shameless marketing ploy: Is there anyone who wants to team up with me to publish under a "ghost author" name. From what I've heard from a publishing firm, a writer with more books has a better shot at being published. If one book in our pack makes it, the others will get attention. Every "ghost writer" in the pack keeps what his/her book makes. This is what it's come to for me, don't have the money or the expertise to get my book out there.

    Sounds like you cleared the biggest hurdle, assuming you got a publisher. Please fill me in on the story.

    Similar thing happened to me. I blogged a few stories involving two real people and used their REAL names, which weren't very common ones. They discovered the blogs, and threatened to sue. So I changed the names, but only because people close to me threatened to alienate me if I kept the names. So if they sued? Free publicity?

    I'm surrounded by people who perceive writing and dreaming is a waste of time and unrealistic. Teasing and discouragement are common norm here. I quit my job and start writing but I need to admit it is never easy. On numerous counts, I faced with a lot of uncertainties and worries. Thanks to my closest family, especially husband and kids who are my back bone of support. I finally finished my first book! Can't wait to see it out in the market.
