I have always been a writer and I have always known I wanted to earn my living writing.
I was the grade school girl who faithfully kept journals (not diaries) – writing and drawing all sorts of creative and cool things that run through a 10-year-old’s young mind. Sometimes I’d even scotch tape the gum I was chewing during a conversation I had while whirling a 165 gram frisbee across the yard with Duncan – my first crush.
While earning my undergraduate degree at a small private liberal arts university, I often proofed, creatively adjusted, and/or helped edit college papers for my friends and their friends. (For those of you too young to appreciate this next statement – ask your parents – but I was the “Cathy” of the Patty Duke Show!) I’d go to the weekend college parties with my friends in either a dorm room or a frat house and inevitably someone I knew – or who knew someone I knew – would approach me (at the party!) with his paper (or topic) and ask me if I could “look it over” and make it better! At that time, I readily agreed to help others because it always came so easy for me and I loved the challenge of learning a new topic. I was compensated for sharing my God-given gifts with a dinner.
One day, while having dinner at a hip seafood restaurant with some guy I hardly knew, I realized that I was not only helping him (and others) to earn an “A” on the assignment, but also being a sort of “dinner date” for him. It was definitely a win-win situation for my college peer! Right then and there – at that CrabHouse Restaurant along the shores of Lake Erie, I decided that, as a ghostwriter, I would rather be paid CASH for my creativity and efforts so that I could take MY friends and family to dinner instead of spending hours of my life with someone I really didn’t know.
My undergraduate degree is in three separate fields – English, Communications, and Secondary Education. While simultaneously writing and establishing my writing firm, I taught high school Language Arts for a handful of years. I L-O-V-E-D teaching Grammar, the 8 Parts of Speech, Vocabulary, Literature, and Writing. LOVED IT. It all came so easy for me because I was passionate about it, knew it well, and loved teaching others with hopes that they would come to love writing and literature (or at least not fear it) also.
Whether you or someone in your family needs to write an essay, business report, or paper for school, work, a speech, graduate coursework – there is a wonderful pattern that I personally conceptualized that helps anyone and everyone learn how to organize and craft a jaw-dropping essay. There is a method to the madness and I made such a splash while teaching it – that all my colleagues in both Ohio and Viriginia – came to me for my PowerPoint presentation on it, my notes on it, and/or to have me actually go in their classes and teach their students not only how to write, but also how to embrace the opportunity to bring their thoughts to life on paper.
