Well, Connor, if it's just that easy to shit out bestsellers like James Patterson does, then why don't you do it?
Granted, I find Patterson's use of ghostwriters or whatever amusing, but then again, he's worked his way to get to the point where he can just be the ideas guy, or whatever it is he does with these books.
Also, in this case, "ideas guy" still means writing an ~80 page treatment for someone else to turn into a book, which is still not a small task. He probably does as much writing himself as an author who writes 100% of his own books, considering that several Patterson novels are released every year.
