What are your biggest challenges?

My writing goal is to finish editing and revising my manuscript. Now, I have entered a new stage of writing and editing which can be overwhelming at times.

I want to dedicate more time to editing, one of my goals for 2024. It has been overwhelming working on descriptions of places and how they affect my characters, trying to ensure that readers can visualize these places.

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

Life without a computer or other technology would be a living nightmare that never ends.

I rely on technology due to being dyslexic and having Rheumatoid Arthritis, as it provides the access and accommodations I need. Also, October is Dyslexia Awareness Month.

I rely on dictation software to type for me, especially due to joint deformity in my fingers and dysgraphia. Speaking sentences is easier than typing them, and it allows me to create longer and clearer sentences. Additionally, my handwriting is nearly illegible, making technology an essential tool for communication.

When it comes to editing, I need technology. I love the feature of text-to-speech where it reads it back to me. That has been an awesome help to help me to improve my grammar, and syntax, and make my thoughts clearer without this technology, I wouldn’t be writing.

Over the years, my reading skills have improved thanks to technology. I use narration on the Kindle App for novels, text-to-speech software on the iPad for articles and other materials, and I also enjoy listening to audiobooks. Without technology, I wouldn’t be reading.

I don’t want to go back to a life without technology.

How do you plan your goals?

My objective is to write a manuscript and get it published. I’m still working on my goal.

The first crucial step is to write the rough draft, which is done.

Now, I’m in the editing stage and halfway through draft 5, planning to do three more revision drafts. I’m focusing on my plot and creating engaging characters by learning new techniques and skills to make my novel gripping and a rememberable reading experience. That is my goal.

There are times I’m ecstatic about the process I’m making. Other times, I want to cry myself to sleep because I’m so overwhelmed by the process.

Why do I write?

I love to write.
