Adaptability or stubbornness? (Maybe a bit of both!) #DisabilityLife #AdaptiveArt #CreativeProcess #Mindfulness #ChronicIllness

Today didn’t go to plan. An ultrasound meant more pain, and rain ruled out my electric wheelchair plan. So I edited in a waiting room instead of writing in a cafe. Disabled people adapt like this all the time, not as inspiration, but as a practical skill. #DisabledWriter #CreativeAdaptation

Decluttering and creating zones to make life with disability easier led to the discovery of a very broken cat‑approved bookshelf. Solution: a 50% off flat‑pack cupboard for fabric storage, built the same night, but definitely not as fast as this video makes it look 🤣 #Decluttering #Disability

Cosmo's made himself a little fort while I was out 🤣
A black cat is curled up in a cat bed, surrounded by cardboard pieces. A few of the pieces are leaning upright against  his bed. There is cardboard strewn across the tan coloured carpet. In the background is some lace curtains over a large window. You can see some grass and a brick wall of a neighbouring house. To the side is part of a dark brown wooden tv cabinet. In the foreground is a maroon recliner footrest.

My haul from visiting Fibre Feast SA. Was a great day out, and I really enjoyed catching up with familiar faces, meeting new people, learning about new crafts, techniques & skills. Now to finish off my current projects so I can buy lots of #yarn at the 2027 #FibreFeast 😉 #craft #fibrearts

I find this interesting as it is so vastly different from my personal experience. Even a few days of not moving etc will cause severe pain and stiffness. But daily consistent movement & small excercises (like knitting for my thumb/hands) for as little as 5 minutes can reduce the pain to near zero.

My jeans get a lot of wear (I basically live in them all year round), so my patches need to be as strong as the denim. #slowfashion #patchjeans #sewing #mending

The main protagonist is a Transgender girl who is Autistic & has ADHD called Ellie. She develops close friendships with another Australian girl called Rylee & Toby a boy from the Philippines. There is also Cosmos (who is a Hold Cat) & Mrs Wallace an indigenous Australian who end up mentoring Ellie.

I've written a lot more than I thought was possible for my wrist, getting close to ⅓ of the first draft of book one being done. I have a few scenes I really like, my favourite one was one that I didn't intend to write. It felt like the characters and the world took on a life of their own.

I hate going to the ER for this reason. Due to my own stories like this, I now have a written medical history and a note about how I present with pain (down play it) on me at all times. When I've used it even others have noticed a difference in the drs attitude after they read it. It has helped.

A white nonbinary person is smiling as they are half lying down on a maroon recliner with a black cat spread over their body it's head using their arm as a pillow. The cat has green eyes and is looking just past the camera. Jacky is wearing jeans a dark blue t-shirt and a checkered blue and black top, their rainbow hair has been cropped out of the photo so that Yoshi is centred in frame.

Cosmo was very interested but hates going outside. I have a pet blue tongue called Lizzy in a terrarium inside and she is often putting on a show for the cats. I don't think Cosmo understood it wasn't Lizzy outside as this one was smaller but identical & acting the same as Lizzy.

in your world too? Characters need to earn their wins & growth points otherwise the big finales fall flat. Like Tolstoy I've laid out timelines and created classes, maps & more for my world. Would some rough plans for yours help you get your characters to where they need to be? Hope this helps🤞

I'm new to writing but I was a teacher & currently working on a YA fantasy novel/series. For me, I needed to first put constraints in place as I didn't want readers to expect all problems to be magically fixed. I now have a whole physics system for my magic. Perhaps you need to put constraints
