Not only is the example of validation important, but also the value of the ghostwriter in freeing the "story within" a person is invaluable. <br /><br />Ghostwriting is a specialty of its own. The ability of the writer to "get into the head" of another person to tell his/her story with honesty, integrity, and passion requires skill, patience, dedication, and compassion--as well as a great deal of writing talent.<br /><br />Great post!Linda Lanehttp://www.denvereditor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-41531224000021162892010-09-27T11:25:26.733-06:002010-09-27T11:25:26.733-06:00Lovely story about the poem.

I do have a poem I wrote a couple of years later when I was around 6, that my mom sent into a magazine (and it was printed, which sent her into tizzies of delight.) The poem was about my dog, a dachshund named Zipper. It went like this: Zipper is a wiener/ He loves his deener/ And he loves me too. Only my mom could see talent in this, but I'm glad she thought she could.Kim Pearsonhttp://www.primary-sources.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-11260002395776403652010-09-26T10:12:07.520-06:002010-09-26T10:12:07.520-06:00Kim,

For they document my own fascination with drawing and writing from a tender age.I agree completely, that each person's story is worth honoring when the time is right for them. So you know how much I appreciate you and what you do and how you do it.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing...Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Deborah Drake<br />Authentic Writing ProvokesDeborahDrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239438139303425682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-15812986174621165812010-09-26T09:42:08.628-06:002010-09-26T09:42:08.628-06:00You were incredibly lucky to have such a mom.

She validated you when you were so small...and look how you turned out!<br /><br />As a former teacher of 6-year-olds (and a parent myself), I know just how powerful this can be. And the fact that she recopied, illustrated and framed your poem? What an affirmation of her faith in you and your talents.<br /><br />Do you still have it?Judy Dunnhttp://www.catseyewriter.comnoreply@blogger.com
