You're holding everyone's story but yours. This ghostwriter doesn't sneak in. It gets invited and thanked.

What you do started writing who you are. You're good at what you do, maybe really good, and that's what makes this one sneaky. Being dependable, needed and praised feels like success.

5.
Your Ghostwriter is The Culture

You've memorized lines you never chose. Nobody sat you down and taught you that you were too old, too much or not enough. You absorbed it from magazines, commercials and your feed until you started enforcing it on yourself. That voice sounds like common sense. It isn't. It's a ghostwriter you've never met.
