The Narrative of Your Life

Order.

Disorder.

Reorder. 

(Coming home.)

That's the way of the universe. 

And, if you look at your life, most likely the way of your life as well. 

 ~Pete Holmes on the podcast Soul Boom

Is it weird that I prefer my pastors and spiritual guides in comedian form? What can I say, it works for me. A lot of standups are both deep thinkers and skilled storytellers.

This three-part format that Holmes so succinctly lays out for us is the framework of so many affecting stories. You have to leave home, either literally or metaphorically. 

I know, I hate it too. 

We want to skirt over the "disorder" part and scoot right to the reorder. I know I do. Staying with the disorder is uncomfortable. Resolve the discordant vibe. Do it now!

But think of the most memorable stories...the most exciting parts are not neat or smooth or predictable. Someone has left home and it's hard.

If you need a collaborator to stay with you as you get real about the disorder part of your story, I might be that partner. I am not as smart as a chatbot. But I understand disorder and I am a good partner on the journey of writing your book.

Here is what a recent client had to say about working with me:

"Working with Laura Schaefer as a ghostwriter and editor has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my writing journey. Laura brought a rare combination of professionalism, creativity, and insight to the project, helping me articulate my ideas clearly while elevating the voice and structure of the book far beyond what I could have done on my own. She was not only responsive and organized, but she also had a genuine interest in understanding my goals and audience, which made the collaboration feel like a true partnership.

"Laura has a gift for transforming the author's content into a compelling narrative while always preserving the author's authentic tone. If you're looking for someone who will take your vision seriously, add tremendous value to your writing, and deliver exceptional editorial guidance from start to finish, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

"Laura is 100% worth the fee she charges, and you won't regret it!"
