The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

I signed up for 750 Words several years ago, but didn’t stick with it, although on occasion I revisited the site with intentions to do a daily writing practice that never quite happened.. Four months ago I began to develop some mobility problems, and am now in the process of getting a second opinion for ALS. Fifty five days ago, I began to write, and haven’t skipped a day since then. Writing gives me the opportunity to get the fears and worries out without overburdening my family members taking care of me. Writing has been a valuable task during a time when my physical functioning is failing and I am trying to create a structure for my life as it is now. My writing doesn’t look good, and may not be readable but it is helping to keep me together during this uncertain time.
