This post is not a book review it’s about my own YA thriller I published last year called Chronic Wheelies I felt it would be nice to talk about it here like I did for The Step Love my 2018 debut ever since I never spoke about this one so I feel it’s right to do so..
Maybe what comes to your head right now is? Why did I call this Chronic Wheelies the definition is called: Painless Wheelies I wrote this based on personal pain of living as a only child with cerebral palsy in own voices from experience I went through from my tweens and teenage years being in school how the world saw me what society saw me from my wheelchair instead of me the person and how I struggle and battle with it but now I’m in my 30’s books like these coming of age YA novels need to be more because they bring some insight of what it’s like for an only child living with a disability on a daily basis because we see cerebral palsy in serious cases but we never see mild ones like mine so Zac I wrote shone was a light for me to create a fifteen year old black kid who battles with spasm, bullying, being an only child and sometimes pain because living with cerebral palsy is sadly about pain so even though there’s a mystery element of Jack Dooley Zac’s best friend being missing the whole novel focuses on the surface of managing many aspects of my MMC life and most come from personal experiences from me the author..
What I loved about writing Zac was how I expressed a lot of my thoughts and feelings into his kid head I felt him like a male version of myself because even though I am a female everything would’ve been very different if I was a male as well so writing this was interesting to put in a perspective that no one wouldn’t have seen it come in but in someway would’ve guess what I mean by this If they see it deeply.
For now I’m not going deep into details I feel when you read this novel you’ll understand a lot of things I’ve stated here.
Until we meet again,
