Everyone who obtains a degree in journalism or literature believes they will one day be another Pat Conroy. In reality, most writers wind up becoming masters of spin for the local newspaper or television station. It takes guts, ambition, and a great deal of creativity for a memoirs ghostwriting author to find someone that the world will sufficiently regard as a person of interest.
Sometimes we find a subject by accident, and that man or woman makes a generous offer for the opportunity to have their story told from their point of view. Sometimes a writer pursues the work themselves, and commits to this duty for a stipend, or less. No matter how the job is obtained, this writer must know that their role is a vital element in the telling of historical events.
These writers may find their jobs impossible unless the subject grants them free reign to their life. This includes their home and all documents therein, be they letters or legal documents, Christmas cards, certificates of births and deaths, and all records or photographs of notable events. Sometimes the subjects are very elderly, and their home in disarray, so organizing this information can be tedious.
When hoarding is an issue, the subject might want to leave their home for a period of time in order to avoid placing unnecessary stress on their writer. Elderly people are notoriously hostile when their property is being picked through, and hoarders have been known to experience mental or psychotic breaks during the process. If they are hospitalized or bedridden it may actually make the task easier.
Writers are cautioned about accepting the oral account only, as this exposes them to the possibility that their subject is lying or misrepresenting significant events in some way. Sometimes elderly people suffer dementia, and when their condition is revealed, the world disregards their story as being without credibility. Physical evidence such as photographs or journals are the only protection a writer has.
Writers must entertain as well as inform, and a good one uses this to their advantage. Mark Twain was best known for his ability to make characters come alive in his stories through the use of written Ebonics. The reader was made to truly hear the voices of characters through the creative recreation of their accented Pigeon English.
These writers often spend months or years away from their normal daily routines in order to tell a story. When the story is one of horror, death, murder, betrayal, or war, their immersion in that world can cause them true suffering. Family and friends are encouraged to touch base with them often to help keep their mental health strong and clear.
Only the brave may walk the hallways of history, as terrible events surely befell mankind in the wake of great triumph. Only a soldier of the written word dare cross the bridges that burned decades past. These terrible truths must be written with bitter-sweetness and beauty so that all of us can weep in wonderment at the exquisite beauty and horror of human beings.
