Thanks for the fantastic advice! I have had the same sorts of experiences working with web design clients, cosmetology clients and illustration and cover art clients. I definitely have a mental file, of "I'll never do THAT again." people and/or projects. So, it's good to know that some of my hard gained knowledge could be used for that, too. I think it's a service thing.
Do you only write 'non-fiction'? Or did some of your clients want you to write that "I have a great idea for a story." type books, too? Like writing for IP?
Tiff, Dan was unable to comment, but this is what he said:
"Yes, I have ghostwritten novels for other writers. It's fun, but nothing compared to writing my own because there's no surprise. It's plotting with someone else's plot. Still, provided
my name is on the check, I don't care whose name is on the cover."

Again, thanks for sharing your experience!
