yeah I thought of that too. They will supply me with outlines, notes, ideas, etc, and I will write it up for them, so it isn't necessarily me coming up with stuff from scratch, but word count is probably more fair

However, I am also doing all the editing, rewrites, etc, which can loose me words, and money

and all the time doing submissions, etc - sooo, I don't know

Thanks Lege! I'll check that out.
I wonder if it would be too complicated if I did a per word charge for the ms, hourly for rewrites and edits and submissions? Hmmmm
