00:00I've found what I'm meant to be doing. I am doing what I'm meant to be doing and I

00:05am loving my life now. Absolutely. Oh, I'll end up crying. I love my life now and I am

00:15so grateful for everybody that's helped get me here.

00:20When writing the book, Nicola told me that she found it difficult to stare at a computer

00:23screen for a long period of time as it would give her migraines, tremors and the fear of

00:28a seizure. Because of this, she wrote everything down in these books, which she then later

00:32typed up and edited herself. I don't know if it would have happened. I don't know if

00:37I would be able to be the voice that I am now for disabled writers or disabled creative people

00:46in general. And I love that. I love that people are inspired by my story and I hope that people

00:55pick up a pen and start writing or open their laptop and give it a go. Because it is possible

01:02and the challenge and the fight in it makes it worthwhile.
