It is not necessary that being a celebrity you can be a good writer also but yes this can happen that being a good writer you can become a celebrity. It is a complete story of success. There is an e-book http://www.succcess.org/<BR/> which depicts the information about success in life.

You know how hard it is to write something and it would take a writer with experience to put it together. <BR/> But I like the idea of writing under my own name--lol--that's why I married my husband:))Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-57508080446933855972008-09-12T14:05:00.000-05:002008-09-12T14:05:00.000-05:00You're on to something!

You have to remember that they have a name or a brand, so people will buy it regardless of the content. This is how an actor can be a singer, writer, TV show host, ect. It doesn't mean quality work though.

More of a guarantee on publishing investment? But there's always that segment of books. There's also the segment where the writing sells itself.

In other words, they're not really cutting into your market.

I'm with you, that we have to get over it and persevere. Sometimes it's frustrating, though. I've read some things written by celebrities (as I'm sure we all have) and, to be honest, if they hadn't had their name, chances are low it would have seen print.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-29939921783245041352008-09-12T09:14:00.000-05:002008-09-12T09:14:00.000-05:00Of COURSE being a celebrity makes you a better wri...Of COURSE being a celebrity makes you a better writer.
