Why use Ghosted Books as my Hired Quill?

Penned by Virginia Woolf

The thought of already being a published author haunted my every waking thought, infringing upon my very spirit both day and night. I’d cry out, as if taken by some primordial impulse to let loose and unleash the rush and frenzy of my emotions that had been dammed up and stoppered by my ill-fated decision to write my book on my own.

I’d spent years with the thing bottled up inside me, resisting the printing and publication, and using every excuse imaginable for it not to see the light of day. Long sleepless nights, spent jostling about on my mattress, wrestling with the agony of this overwhelming feat. 

To my chagrin, I’d spent a decade with this idea, having written nary a word towards its completion. My only regret is not finding a quill for hire sooner...

The whole world was yelling at me, “finish your book, finish your book,” but why should I finish my book? What could I possibly add to the English lexicon? The truth was every time I sat down I felt quite alone in this endeavor, my heart was burdened with condemnation, and my mind felt deserted. I felt as if each new paragraph I’d written was a winding black staircase leading me to no end. When my creativity struck, I was plagued by a multitude of choices, too vast to choose on my own. When I was unproductive, I felt lazy and depleted, and loathsome. 

No more never-ending questions, questions, and more questions! Questions of grammar; does the comma go inside or outside of the quotation marks; where do I submit my manuscript; how can I make this chapter appeal to younger audiences; Oh, what is to be done about this dreadful syntax; how can I edit a decade of my work, and discard it into the rubbish bin, without so much as a second anxious thought? Page after page discarded! It was a disaster writing my book by myself. 

When I found Ghosted Books, my mood lightened, my writing soared, and I found the inner strength to persevere. Relief, more relief, and finally, beautiful rest.
