Ghost writing referred to the writing of a novel or other fictional work by someone else to complete part of the work or storyline. This behavior was usually due to some business or personal reasons, such as a lack of time or skills to complete the entire work on their own, or a need to save time or cost for someone or an organization to complete certain tasks. In this case, the gunner might accept the task of writing an outline, writing some parts or the entire work, and pay after completing it. Gunslinger writing was a form of fictional writing that usually appeared in novels, movies, television dramas, and other fictional works.
