Learning the Sad Deceitful Side of Writing........2005-07-26

A ghostwriter is usually paid be be quiet about his/her authorship, as in the V.C. Andrews novels which have become more popular since her death, as more qualified people are doing the coomposing. Jennie Erdal of Scotland worked for twenty years as a non-deplume for a man, even writing his love letters. Where have we run into that before? A play, I think; certainly a movie!

I've often wondered if our local history writer does not write his own columns, as I've asked him for more details of something he wrote but did not remember any of it. Strange, gets stranger. This non-hip person is writing about things he would never notice in his lifetime, and you have to wonder if he is just the 'front', the frosting on the cake. Once I called him to task about writing something about the KKK, of which he knew nothing; thus, I went to the small library where the Klan was started after the Civil War and copied the short history as written by the wife of a newspaper editor. It meant nothing to him, and he contributed it to the local historical society. He is a Presbyterian like Jennie Erdal. Perhaps there is something in their ritual and beliefs which lead these people astray. Baptists would not do that; they're not smart enough. And we Methodists would never let it enter our minds. Why, St. Paul would condemn us all to hell.

Jennie was caught in a web of deceit. Ghostwriters don't usually reveal themselves, wrote Joyce JOhnson, on the back cover of this book. Frances thinks it to be 'the oldest profession,' but it seems I remember some seedy occupation being called that, and the two don't make good bedfellows.

We are all aware that the U. S. presidents have all had speech writers. Kennedy's "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You" was not his thoughts at all, but he took credit for them. Sometimes, when first beginning, women writers have taken false names until they become well-known in their own personna. Then they re-release the early writings.

Not being able to acknowledge your own compositons is hard and not as lucrative as it would have been, after a successful and well-advertised campaign turns out to make it famous and much sought after. That's where the money comes in. She agreed to do one book, but it evolved into a full career of deceit.

There is a handbook on ghostwriting. But I'd never try that -- it's more fun to be known for myself, not for some man.
