WRITING

Welcome to Stingray's
writing page!

Here you'll find my assortment of my poetry; my fanfiction & fandom-related essays; reviews of books & my to be read; and information about upcoming projects.

Having aphasia makes writing difficult. I struggle to remember words, I can't phrase things right, and my writing tends to feel ... "childish" to me. My vocabulary feels like it's getting smaller and smaller every day. It's hard to write something in a good way, when I can't think of synonyms for "good" to better describe what I mean, making me feel like I'm writing in a "1st grade level".

I've always loved writing, but that love slowly started to disappear once I developed my disabilities and once my symptoms got worse. How can I call myself a "writer" when I can't think? I mean... in the middle of writing this, I'm struggling. What will others think, once they see my writing, and it's incomprehensible? The words are "too simple", the grammar is all over the place, there's spelling mistakes for simple words. Along with that, sometimes it's a struggle to get out of bed. I'm constantly in pain and everything makes it worse. Everything makes me feel fatigued.

How can I call myself a "writer" when I can't, physically and mentally, write?

Despite these struggles and fears, I still want to continue writing. The writing here will be bad, and that's okay. I will keep creating.
