Helen had been helping the narrator to write stories as she too had suffered as the narrator with the lack of ideas. Also she and other gjosts had been helping other writers as they had the exact knowledge about ghosts (which they themselves were) this helped the narrator to write realistic ghost stories.

She was on a strike as she and the other ghosts had been called and needed too often due to which they were tired.

Helen was ready to call-off the strike if the narrator promises her that he will advise as many people (especially his wife) to stop using Ouija boards.

Helen, the ghost been helping the narrator to write whost stories because she decided to help the people who are writing stories after her death.

She was going on strike because many people started using OUIJA board and for giving answer of the questions written on the board ghost have to come to answer the question so she was busy in this work.

She placed the condition for continuing help that the he stop his friends and aquaintances from using OUIJA board.

Helen was a ghost who was an unsuccessful writer in her lifetime so after her death she & the ghosts who were like her formed a Writer's Inspiration Bureau. the members of that bureau helped writers with a mind soft enough to accept impression to write ghost stories. So the writer was alloted to helen to help him write ghost stories so she helped him to write. she was going on strike becoz all the ghosts were fed up of the Ouija Board fanatics in which people called the ghosts & asked them questions & the ghosts had to sit there answering them for hours so they were going on a strike. she provided conditions for continued help the were that he should not use ouija board & stop his relatives or frnds also from using the ouija board.

Helen provided inspiration to the narrator to write ghost stories. She and co-ghosts were going on a strike because they were tired of answering questions of Ouija board fanatics. They felt they were disturbed too often to answer silly questions. She urged the narrator to influence his friends and acquaintances to stop using the Ouija board. It was on this condition she promised to help the narrator to write stories.

Helen provided inspiration to the narrator to write ghost stories,the particular genre of stories that were a sure hit among the people. She and the other co-ghosts were going on a strike because they were tired and exausted of answering questions of the mind-boggling Ouija board fanatics. They felt they were disturbed too often to answer silly questions and were called off their beds too early and frequently such that they had to give up haunting.. She urged the narrator to exert his influence over his friends and acquaintainces to get rid of those wierd boards.In this condition she will definately help the narrator to write those stories....
