I absolutely have to make more money. I've been thinking about this for a long time, now, and the only thing I keep coming back to is writing. It's the job that will give me the most flexibility, and it's also something I love to do. Maybe one day I can combine it with photography, but for now the writing alone will have to do. I know exactly what I want to write about, too. Raising blind children to be the best they can be and to relieve some of the stress/burden from the parents. The kids will thrive in an environment of "you can do it" as opposed to "here, let me help you with that". I'd like to get my columns/newsletter/story into the Bangor Daily News on a weekly basis, or in a blog. If it's via a blog, I don't know how to get the word out. Well, I have some ideas, but I'd have to see if they would work. Of course, I'm on the BlindForum, and I'm sure my blind friends on there would love to give me feedback.
My first sentence would be something like, "'Your daughter is blind and may have a heart defect.' Those words 23 years ago set my feet on a completely different path than I could ever have imagined....." Or, something like that. After that, though, there's so much to consider: do I go at it in a consecutive manner, or just relate tidbits and stories as I think of them and remember them. Do I compare the present trials and tribulations with when they were younger, or take each new "adventure" as a completely new adventure.
I feel like the key to my future is this wonderful computer I'm typing this on, so no matter what I try to do, it will involve the computer. Ahhhhh,,,,we shall see.
I'm falling asleep as I write this, so I better get to sleep!!! G'night!!!
