AIMBUDDY: the robot army one
it's the plot of the matrix
me: lolol
a++

^^^ aim votes are like superdelegates

mammoth: well i would go with whore of babylon because its closest to what i believe but holy spirit is the only weapon against robot army is pretty true as well
me: man this is looking like robot army in a landslide
me: do you wanna do whore of babylon just to be contrarian or is robot army your final answer
mammoth: i would perfer to do both
but i realize that isn't possible for the other folks

me: aim votes are like superdelegates so really you can break all the rules or whatever and your vote can count twice
mammoth: i see
excellent
ill go with both

it will involve the phrase "bridge to tomorrow"

hillary

it's Stephen Baldwin's first novel

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

guys not to influence your vote but it is apparently your garden variety "catholics are heathens and lutherans sing the wrong hymns and episcopalians r gay" deep south baptist preacher stuff

but hey i'm ghostwriting, i can work the robots in

you aint robotwriting

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

bourbon was robbed

jesus was actually sun ra

fuck fuck fuck.

just sent dude an affirmative "let's talk pricing" type thing then my friend googled guy aaaaaaaaaaaand i won't point homie out but his name is on this list:

CAMPAIGN AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY: AN EVIL ABOMINATION IN GOD'S EYES

can i still do this or is it (forgive me) totally selling my soul to write this dude's book for him knowing he believes this garbage

jesus my mother would never speak to me again if i did this

(hoos has two mommies iffn you guys are unaware)

you probably shouldn't do it, esp. if you think this dude is gonna have you writing some ann coulter jail gays type shit

like the book i'd be working on apparently doesn't touch on whether or not the gays are going to hell, but that's sorta besides the point isn't it?

or i mean you get halfway through this thing and then his crazy ramblings come and you're like dude i can't do this but he's already paid you etc etc

right right

yah i mean better safe than sorry no?

homie totally tried to lowball me too, talkin bout "i pastor a small church and don't have access to much money"

his website has a "Store" section with mad various items and pictures of the congregation make it in the 200+ range

fuckin guy

wow i said "mad various items" i need to slow up on the lone star

:D :D :D :D

can we pool together and cop one of these congregation photos

not sure why we would want to do this

definitely an lol congregation

Believe us, we could tell.

"Sir, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. My mother, myself, and my mother's girlfriend will not tolerate your hate speech on your manuscript. We have not and will not charge you a cent and you're free to take your business elsewhere. I'd rather not call the police, but if you insist on continuing to disturb my family I will. Please leave."

echoes of the future there. didn't even need much tinkering.

srsly guys so is this a no cause fuck i could use the $$

That's up to a hoos.

there are other jobs. i'll find em.

doo it hoos just fill the book w/lots of mean puns and allusions the guy wont catch

unless hes offering you so little money that its just no worth it

^ someone else also suggested this

lol do it like ep's lil wayne review

what what

Hoo's g/f would like to point out that he does, in fact, have THREE mommies.

for the record this is Mom, Mom's GF, and Stepmom

Is a hoos still writing this?

Finished it a couple weeks ago. Waiting on the paycheck, then we're gonna get started on the next project.

No robots. ;_;

this is a good thread, i always read ads for ghostwriters on clist and just assume its really difficult for little pay and unbearable conditions

Have your moms disowned you?

Nah but they don't know about homie's baser tendencies. As long as he doesn't ask me to write about how the fags are gonna burn or whatever, I'll keep doing it I guess.

Dude just referred me to two of his brethren of the cloth who are now going to start working with me on projects.

"So what do you do?"
"Oh, I ghostwrite books for fundamentalist pastors."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ tho

motherfucker still owes me $300

nope this is a small time dude publishing through a vanity press to sell the shit in the lobby of his church downtown so i just kinda let it go assuming dude wasn't the next joel olsteen or anything

what if it's a slow build? worried about your future, hoos.

why is this book i'm ghostwriting about

deep question

what if it's a slow build? worried about your future, hoos.

in what sense!!

i would rather not worry u afaik

when shit goes large and u left in the dust. i am talking about your financial security. well, i'm sure you will be secure afaic but u know, gettin what's rightfully yours &c w/e.

No yeah I totally feel u and I am prepared to go board lawyer on a dude's ass in the future when I take on similar projects iirc but in this case I feel like there's nothing more worth doing

probably board lawyering won't help in that situation imo?

i will hire harbl btw

if you’re ever doing business with a religious sonofabitch, get it in writing! his word isn’t worth shit — not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal!

dag if only i had read that line sooner

so

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wrg/1114309628.html

should i go in

shit could be fun and perhaps a humorous and ironic way of reflecting on the recent failure of my own relationship

could be a blast but also could get crepey quick fast and in a hurry

# Compensation: Based on experience including % of sales

so that's a no.

Yeah I'd be negotiating with a dude on that

and by "a dude" i mean "a probably creepy old man who wants me to write the AARPartriarchy version of Sex & The City"

gwinnett!!! its clearly crutis

I think ghostwriting this book would make me suicidally depressed, which is only a way I feel like feeling a small percentage of the time, so qualified "no" on this one

o_O

i'd do it if i were allowed to embellish this dude's supposed experiences as much as i was wanted

yeah i mean in communiques with dude he describes it as a "novel" so i imagine he'd give me breathing room in adherence to his notes

Am helping an ~Arhat~ (<---- still not sure how I feel about this) put together his book on deep concentration states of meditation. As initial ~payment~ I'm getting daily guidance from dude on my practice. He's really making himself available anytime for guidance (gave me skype, AIM & phone #) which is pretty dope and wholehearted of him. It may or may not turn into a paid gig as the book nears completion, but this is a fun and unexpected turn for this thing to take for me.

I always liked to imagine I'd do ghostwriting & editing work for clergy of different faiths and kinda build up an interfaith resume, so this is a cool step in that direction.

Applying for a manuscript editing job with a publishing firm.

hi 5s?

Too bad u don't get cover approval, imo.

did you ever get paid dogg?

i did! he paid me well.

i'm actually getting back in touch with him to see if he can do me any referrals. trouble was that last fall he referred me to 5 dudes at once who all had work for me and i said "yes i can do all of this simulataneously"

a month later i'd made negligible progress on 5 different projects and had to sheepishly admit i'd overstretched myself and they all pulled out on me. so we'll see what happens.

and yeah i kinda love that cover. "how can we make the cross a more horrifying form of torturous death?"

Of all the things that are fundamental to the life of a HOOSian, it is our notion of faith that provides for us the most peace and keeps us grounded. Because faith itself is key to who we are in HOOS, our understanding of faith is crucial if we are to live successfully.

To that end, this book was written to help you see how faith is so misunderstood. Because faith is so misunderstood, faith is subsequently misused. This book will delve into faith like none has done before. Many of the questions about why you are not getting from HOOS what you have asked for and prayed for will be answered. Understanding faith will unlock for you victory and abundant life like you have never known. You will learn the principles to guarantee results in your prayers and change your life forever. Understanding faith will cause your life to NEVER be the same.

i am proud to say i did not write that product description
