Have you ever had a million-dollar idea? Maybe it was for an invention that you think could change the world, or maybe it was some revolutionary system for something that could make people’s lives easier. Or perhaps, that million-dollar idea is for a book- a story waiting to happen- all you need are the words. Well, what if I told you there’s a service for turning those million-dollar-book ideas into a reality? Ghostwriting is a service that is steadily becoming more popular among aspiring authors because it allows authors to write their stories without ever writing down a single word. Ghostwriters meet with these aspiring authors and discuss their ideas for their stories; then they get to work writing them. It’s a very interesting process, but its hands-off nature often puts people on edge about the possibilities of concept theft and poor writing. I’m here today to tell you a little more about this process and to hopefully put your creative minds at ease.
I am not someone who is normally excited by the thought of sitting down and reading a book, but that statement always seems to change when I am handed a memoir. This is because memoirs are more than just- stories- they’re true stories. Those who read memoirs, will walk away with an expanded knowledge of what it means to be a human.
Being able to write without a definite structure or purpose is a gift and a privilege, and as such we should honor it. We should make time for it because it is so good for us. One should never have to choose between honoring emotions or self expression, and our daily obligations. We should be a society that promotes these things as part of our daily obligations. By making a space for creative writing we strengthen the members of our society by enabling them to grow, learn, and experiment as people within a healthy facet. Creative writing is an underused resource in the education system that promotes empathy, emotional regulation, and communication skills.
In a society where we value the educated class, by giving those with better degrees higher salaries and more credibility, we are often too quick to sneer at the underappreciated gem that fuses art and literature, graphic novels. In our society we are taught to esteem ourselves on things like our grades, reading levels, advanced vocabularies, and overall intellect. We are told to read the classics and books that are on par with this standard, leaving comics and graphic novels to waste away with the picture books of our childhoods. After all, that’s all they are right? Picture books? Far too simplistic and remedial to have any real substance, right? Wrong.
