November 13, 2019 - 61 - "Co-written by..."

     I'm thinking I'm not giving credit where credit is due.  

     My name's on everything but I can't do any of this alone.  I have to admit I've had a ghostwriter on all of my posts.
  
     Her name is Ella and she is ever-present when I'm writing.

   She's not much for fixing all the spelling, grammar, tense, and point of view issues I amass...but she does let me know when I'm getting boring.


     When I'm taking too long to get to my point she has her ways of letting me know.  Often her editorial comments come in the form of a long stretch and an exaggerated yawn.  

     If I don't get the message soon enough and start wrapping things up, she'll often stage a sit-in on the keyboard.

     You may think most of my posts are too long...but you have no idea what you'd be dealing with if Ella weren't on the job.  

     I'll let her know you appreciate her efforts.
