Disabilities

Read Psalms 37-40

Psalms 38:13 "But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth."

When we write about challenged characters, we might write about the protagonist or other characters. Whether we write about the protagonist or other characters being the challenged one, we can decide if the challenge is physical or mental.

We might write about a character who has already accepted and integrated the challenge into her daily life or about a character for whom the challenge is recent and still raw and how they cope. Whether the character is the protagonist or another character, the challenge will affect the other characters in the story.

If we have experience in challenges or interest in making others' lives easier, there are several markets specifically for disabled, handicapped, chronically ill, or other challenges. We could also write an essay about our own experience or interview someone who has turned his challenge into a mission.
