| Ghostwriting is one of my new skills |
But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all
things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26
This past year I had the opportunity to hone a new skill, ghostwriting. It’s something I’ve wanted to do, although I wondered whether I’d really enjoy the process.
For those who aren’t
familiar with how ghostwriting works, here’s the process boiled down
into its simplest form. The ghostwriter agrees to take a concept or story and put
it into manuscript form. It might involve turning a series of
sermons or the events of someone’s life into a full-length book. The concept is
that the idea comes from the author, and the order of the words
comes from the ghostwriter. This means that in most
instances, the final decisions on how the idea looks as a manuscript belongs to
the author, NOT the ghostwriter. Frequently the ghostwriter isn't even mentioned.
