Re: Singer/songwriter, writer/storyteller?

What you're talking about is almost like trying to hire a vanity stenographer, someone that can listen to your story and put it to the page while also spicing it up a bit.
Well, yes and no. What I would like to find, primarily, is a writer that can come up with original ideas on his/her own, based on a loose frame. That is, I would in this case provide a setting or idea of enviroment, but leave the details and plots entirely up to that person. That would be the best, since I really don't have the time to write (I just can't stop myself once I begin).

But otherwise, sure, just like you said. I would imagine it hard to find someone devoted to the craft of forming sentences and not in weaving the story itself.
