Challenge Yourself

    I am participating in a 10,000 word writing challenge, and I am behind.  Last week I could not concentrate, and I felt sick.  I stayed in bed.  So, this is where the challenge comes in.  My particular certifiable disability has changed the way my motor skills and brain works.  

    It is hard to describe how my motor skills and  brain has changed since I was diagnosed with lung cancer that metastizeed down the vertebre of my spin, but I wil try.  .  The cancer literally crushed…fractured 7 verebreas, and recently metastized down my right hip and femer.  The nerve damage is significant and causes me alot of pain.  I have lost the ability to open my right hand.  I type with one finger.  Second the nerve damage in my neck has changed the way I can prosses information.  It feels like I have both a dominant right lobe and a dominant left lobe. Wierd…I know.  so I can only type with one finger on the right hand or one finger on the left hand.  When I try to type normally, or in my case two fingers typing in harmony I go crosseyed.  I am workng hard to overcome these disabilities.  That brings me to the 10,000 word writing challenge.

    I still have a few day’s left to complete the challenge before me.  The good news is I know writing is not about word count, but the quality of expression.  I will never be an Edger Allen Poe.  I write because I have too one finger and one brain lobe at a time,  Please be kind.  Peace!
