I went down a rabbit hole trying to answer the question, “how does your disability affect your writing?” First off, which one? *grins.* It’s almost an impossible question to ask because there is no separation between me and my disability. It’s just there; it makes certain things “harder” than my peers or for me to obtain society’s standards, but it’s not an easy thing to break down.

However, for me, formatting is on that list. This is something I want to get better at, and I find it a challenge and I know other people do too, but this is something that because of my disability it’s challenging because I don’t have the base skills and numbers are not my thing; I can’t number as part of my disability, and right and left and directions and inches and centimetres, and all of that ties into graphics and formatting. See? Clear as mud.

Ivy Whitaker has some serious writing skills. Her world-building and emotionally gripping and introspecting characters are off the charts, and I am so humbled by her review of Flame Again. It’s really nice when your peers say kind things about your work, and I weigh it slightly differently, you know?

I am near the end for Dax and Gardenia and I must get words down on that story today. Now that I’ve gone this far with them, I don’t want to leave them but I want readers to fall in love with their figuring it out, as much as I have.
