Trouble's Turn: A Mystical Animal Allies Short Story
Page 5
Ever since I was a toddler, I’ve told stories. I made up skits and plays while playing with my stuffed animals, all with no involvement from my parents. I could entertain myself for hours! At that young age, I wanted to have a way to catch those stories and keep them in a treasure box.
As a “legally blind” child (meaning a girl with very poor eyesight), I received daily torturous bullying, because I had to hold books up to my eye in order to read (still do), because I was fat, and because I saw the world so very differently from other children.
How grateful I am for all these experiences—yes, the blindness and the bullying too--because they gifted me compassion, perseverance, and boundless creativity. Since I have to adapt everything I do compared with how a fully sighted person would do it, my ability to “think on my feet” and be innovative is amazing.
Books and stories became my best friends. I became a voracious reader and an avid writer of stories. I wrote articles and then became the editor of our school paper in 8th grade. At my high school, I started writing Doctor Who fan fiction, poems and fantasy stories.
A few of my poems and stories made it into journals, newspapers and magazines. Then for quite a while, I didn’t write much of anything.
Ah, the soul of the storyteller is my nature, and writing is how I follow my bliss. So I decided to dedicate many enjoyable hours to writing and bringing my creations into the world,
Now I laugh every day, because the “you’re so weird” qualities about which kids teased me during those 12 years of torture known as school are now my livelihood. Oh how I LOVE my 1-minute commute past the coffee pot (to get cofee).
