I'm a ghostwriter. That means I can never point to my writing and say "I did that. That's me." Sometimes I write something I'm rather pleased with and would like to pass on to family or show off to mom, but I know it would be passed around and my client would be like "What is this that I paid you for doing in email?" Also I won't link to my work from facebook cause I don't want people who disagree with my views on gay rights, etc. going to my client and using that against me to get my client to ask for another writer from the company I work for.
Sometimes it just sucks, but I won't jeopardize my work for pride. Even if it would be nice to get a "Good job," or a "That was a really well written piece" on occasion. I just know I'm one of the client's favorite writers because I know how he likes his things written and can write that way np, and one of my editor's favorites because I'm such an easy edit.
