Ghost Writer
I have a confession to make. I'm a ghost writer. I am the voice behind the papers written for a community college contemporary cinema class and I love it.
Now, I know I'm not supposed to write my boyfriend's paper. I do realize that I'm taking his opportunity to produce quality materials on his own. But it started off innocently enough. I mean all I meant to do was edit it. And then we started talking about the point of the movie - the first being American Beauty - and we talked about the essence of the film, and in discussing it, I had to capture what we said, and so I edited it a bit more, until it said what we said in my words.
I have a lot of words. Sometimes I think they are so good, and mostly they come out sounding pompous and full of themselves. The words of course, not me. It's just that I have this desire to capture the dramatic point of something -you know, drive it home with some punchy one-liner that will summarize everything I've been saying to someone clever enough to decipher my meaning. Of course, clever isn't really a prerequisite - the one-liner isn't usually that smart, but man, it tries.
