I've written since I could hold a crayon, began pros and poetry at 11, and fiction writing at 18. After my 4th brain surgery crippled me, I didn't think I was able to write anymore. I couldn't see or use my hands. I only survived myself then because my greatest reason for being (my boy, Silas) still needed me. I worked hard, and now... I'm still not allowed to work or drive, but I can type and get around the house. That's enough.ver menos
