About My Memoir
In case you’re new to my little corner of the internet, here’s a brief overview of the memoir I am writing. In September 2016 I was in a near fatal car accident where I experienced a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (click that link to read more about my TBI) and coma. I was in the coma for 3 weeks. When I came out of the coma I was completely deaf for three months. I have gotten some hearing back but it is greatly compromised. My hearing is just one of many changes and complications I have experienced from my severe TBI. Before the injury I wanted to be a published author but a lack of focus and confidence kept me from that dream. After nearly dying I have decided that life needs to be lived and dreams pursued. So I started this blog in 2018 in an attempt to get writing again. After writing 12 short stories in 2018 I set my sights on telling my own story and began to write my “brain injury story” (as I call it) in 2019. I wrote about 60,000 words in it before deciding to set it aside and massively restructure it. That’s where I have been for about a year. Each year since 2022 I have tried to push towards finishing it. In 2023 I completely restructured and rewrote it (again). I still have a long ways to go and I have been taking long breaks away from writing it. However, I am still very much driven to finish. Stay tuned…
