I understand what you are experiencing. I am severly dyslexic, and if you add the vertigo on top of that, up is left and down is right. In short, jumbling my own first name, is common when typing on tablet. I have had many head injuries. Nothing I write looks right to me, if it is spelled right or not. As a teen, I used to speed-read and comprehend everything I read, now, I re-read and lost in a fog. I do love those Search-a-word books, I have one on Paranornal, and it gives the definesion of each word. I wrote a childrens book on a local endangered species, and did the illustrations, many from childhood drawings, tweaked. I enjoyed making it for exposure to their plight of extintion. Took me eight months to get it in the Houston Zoo main book shop, who breeds this species to set out in the wild. That was 2018. Since then, I noticed a revision is in order, but moved on to other book projects. Two must be finished by the end of the year. Tic-toc.

@msmarymac You shared your challenge. Via our health situations I conclude that lives are a wrestling match. We don't have problems, we have challenges. I can only wish you well.

@msmarymac I love that even when focus is required you cope and adapt so that you can create these books. You are so creative and the initiative you demonstrate authoring and successfully marking your book is amazing. I can only imagine how many people will be inspired by your accomplishments. Thanks for sharing.
