I Don't Have Enough Time....

"I don’t  have enough time" or "I don't get the time to...."   How many times a day do we say this phrase to others or hear the same from them? Have you ever wondered why? Why do we not have time? Why have our lives all of a sudden become so busy that we cannot spare time for anything or anyone?



Going back in the era of which our grannies speak of, life was a lot tougher. Everything had to be done manually. There were no dishwashers, washing machines, juicers or blenders. People used to do all these jobs manually. Can you imagine doing all that today? Certainly not! At least, I can't. And why is that? Because..........we don’t have time!

But then how come when at that time people had such tough lives, they still managed to find time to go and visit their friends and relatives and were very sociable too? They had time to look after their houses and children and they had spare time for parents, grand parents and grand children too.

Today, we live in the technological era where we have (thanks to the marvels of science and engineering) essential tools to communicate that have made life so easy. We have got telephones, mobile phones, smart phones, instant messengers, fax, e-mail facilities, social media networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and countless other ways to communicate including Whatsapp and Skype  to everybody and yet when it comes to making contact with them its ages before we meet them. In fact, we don’t even get time to communicate with them indirectly over the phone or through the various facilities mentioned earlier.

What has happened? We have become technologically advanced for sure. Technology has changed everything we used to do, or perhaps more specifically made our lives much easier than they used to be. But, morally we have sunk deep down into an ocean of darkness.

We are trying to make our lives better but this has become more of a race. We are in a competition to get more –more than what we have and definitely more than what we need. At no point are we actually satisfied and this dissatisfaction has made our lives worse. We don’t have time even for ourselves for all that time is used up in making more money, fighting, being jealous of others or in other words losing our moral values! I wish we could go back to living in our lives in peace with more time in our hands for ourselves and others around us. Don't you?

8 Reasons Why You Should Become a Ghostwriter

Despite having published under my own name, I prefer being a ghostwriter. While ghostwriting is not everyone's cup of tea, it just seems to work perfectly for me. The reasons?  1 . Ghostwriting Pays Well Ghostwriting is a lucrative niche . One of the best things about ghostwriting is that you get paid a handsome amount for it. And you get paid upfront. You don't have to wait to write, publish and then market your book to make any money out of it.    At Ghostwriters' World, I offer other writing services such as copywriting but ghostwriting undoubtedly pays the best. You just have to find the right clients- the ones who will pay you well. 2. You Have to do Less Homework Often your clients will have brilliant ideas and stories that they would want you to work on. This means you would not have to start from scratch. You don't have to come up with your own ideas and voice. You would have an outline or plot to begin with so you'll have to do less homewo

You have just found out that ghostwriting is a lucrative career . You wish to become a ghostwriter now, but you know it is not easy to be one. The biggest challenge you will face as a ghostwriter is to see someone else take the credit for your writing. That’s what all ghostwriters sign up for.

While you may be an expert in a certain niche or genre, don’t just confine yourself to ghostwriting books. Expand your skills to write short or long articles, blogs, speeches or essays. Confining yourself to just one area wil

The Dark Side of Freelancing You Were Never Told About

If you've been reading my blogs, you know I am always encouraging everyone to work from home. I've been sharing my experience of working as a freelance writer here with you. As I have worked from home as a freelance content writer and ghostwriter for the last 10 years of my life, I seem to know the ins and outs of this area well, if I dare say so myself.   Yes, I admit it. I've absolutely loved the challenges of freelancing so far. It has seemed to fit in so well around my family and home. In my previous posts I've bragged about how comfortably I make a living from my couch by just using my laptop. I've talked about how amazingly I have managed to create a healthy work-life balance ....But sorry, guys! Today is not one of those days. Today I'll reveal an honest yet brutal truth of my life. I suffer from something called 'Work At Home Mom Depression' (WAHMD). And before you try to Google the term, I'll tell you it's what I just made up. B
