The ghost writer

Sometimes, the ghost writer doesn't have the energy to pretend any more. Sometimes, she can't find the mask and pantaloons required to be you, can't make the vocal chords replicate your voice or the pen your hand.

On those days, she just has to give up and be herself. It's all she can manage, the simple putting together of sentences in her own voicee. Saying things in her own way, not trying to pass them off as yours.

Of course your readers will believe literally anything. Anything. But she knows the days it's just not in her. They're rare, but when they come there's something soothing and restorative in being able to be herself, if only for a few paragraphs.
