On Memoir Ghostwriting...

It can be quite fun to hear a client's voice inside your head--an escape from the you who may be going through your own personal challenges. 

I hear the emotion of the author, envision the frustration he or she had gone through during a tough experience, and imagine my client's highs and lows via the historic material one has provided.  Memoir ghostwriting helps put the pieces of a puzzle into something digestible to the author's target audience.  It doesn't overwhelm with details that are not relevant to one or two specific topics an author is attempting to convey.  The life scenes are nothing more than icing on the cake.  However, autobiographical ghostwriting is like a three hour movie, it shows details of one's major highs and lows from start (early childhood) to finish (nearing the end of career/life/marriage etc.)

I must admit I am overly excited about listening to the lives of others and question much wanting to get to the life-changing information that ultimately helps others.  I am quite the compassionate one who sees the big picture and why it is essential to share one's history with the world.  But what I am not is the writer who haphazardly enters into a scene of one's life and plays the extra.  I challenge my clients, inspire them to do well in delivering their content, and then sit back in the audience and applaud their inner and external accomplishments while being most grateful to have been a part of their journeys.

I dedicate this blog entry to two deceased women of yesteryear who mustered up the courage to speak their truth, glimpses at life lessons learned.  R.I.P.
