Another Attempt LGBT

This is going for another try on writing a gay novel for teenagers with a twist. This time the main character is in a wheelchair. This is due to myself being in a wheelchair and I’m in the LGBT. I feel this time around I have more experience now. I want to get this one right. I know giving the life lessons and what life throws at you. I’m using the fact that I’ve been in this wheelchair since I was twenty-three. I’m not in my mid-fifties.

I want my reader to know I’m doing my best to write the best stories I can. Being British and only being here in America for twenty years, my spelling an grammar is not great. I finished school at age fifteen. I went to college and got my motor mechanics degree and was able to work as a motor mechanic. It didn’t work that way. I went back to college and decided on doing a IT beginners degree. I hoped this time I could get a job after the two year course.

I barely graduated my IT course. I began to think about what was my dream job or career. It came to me as I wrote my next poem in my notebook. At that I decided to try and work on my writing skills. I had notebooks of poetry. I got some notebooks for writing stories this time.

It took a lot out of me as I did my research on what writing a story for children and YA fiction. This was back in 2002. at that point I was introduced to an online friend and in 1st October 2005 I arrived in America to meet my partner. We have been together fr twenty years on 10th November we will be married that same twenty years.

Sorry for going on a rant. It’s what help me advance my writing to this day. During those twenty years I have never thought I would start a blog for writing along with my other blog. I hope I have what it take to write this LGBT disabled story. My Protagonist is a wheelchair user. Let’s see what happens…

One thought on “Another Attempt LGBT

  1. Your journey into writing is powerful, and honestly, that lived experience is exactly what makes stories resonate. Representation matters, and seeing an LGBT protagonist who uses a wheelchair, written by someone who actually understands that reality, feels important and rare. You’ve already done the hardest part: refusing to give up on the dream. Keep going. Your voice has value, and it deserves space on the shelf.
