Crazy busy meticulously going through editing for the 25th time my 422-page manuscript, The Book of James: the Brain Injury, Life, and Legacy of James Clary, Jr. Some friends wonder why I am putting in so much time on the book. Well, with the brain injury myself, my slower thought processing and organizational skills, my errors or things I overlook or think could sound better, combined with my short-term memory (each day it’s like new; I read it and go ‘Wow’….small things impress myself lol), I must devote as much time and effort as possible. Have had a number of good meetings lately and promo events and presentations. One most recently in St. Petersburg, besides keeping my friends at Subway updated where I work/write every morning. Today I told them a bit about neurofatigue and social isolation (which I define in the book); things they hadn’t thought of. Things most probably do not consider. I have been discussing my writing projects lately with several people online. That, and the social media exposure we’ll get and can promote, is going to be huge. It’s sad some folks are inconsiderate and do not want to be bothered by my passion or learning about brain injury. One female’s insensitivity today insulted me. Threatened to report me. Are you kidding? Freedom of speech. I happen to be fairly astute. Slow but not stupid lol. Or maybe this “friend”, how I initially labeled her on this blog- as a “friend”- has a point and we cannot talk freely on our own personal blogs and websites. She said she was NOT my ‘friend.’ Alrighty then. Feel free to chime in. That right there is the purpose of the book I am writing. We want to enlighten people so they would not be insensitive, ignorant, apathetic, uninformed in regard to brain injury. Seems an attorney would know of the ADA. This website is my “business” and promotes my work. Not for personal gain….I do not write to profit; just to increase my and others’ knowledge base. Are we not entitled to that? Seems that to discriminate based on personal feelings would be prejudicial. What about freedom of speech? I hope I am not incorrect the way I am seeing it. I am attempting to get the book as good as possible before returning to Sacramento to see Jim and Debby and family; and the interviews; and meeting the filmmaker; and probably some more golf with Mr. Jim. One-armed man likes to school him on the golf course. lol
