It was tough, Larry. I had to relearn everything. Simple tasks like walking, talking, and even recognizing my own family members were difficult. But I had an amazing support system – my loved ones, doctors, and therapists. They helped me piece together my memories, and slowly but surely, I started to regain my footing.

Yes. Writing became my lifeline. It helped me process my emotions, reflect on my experiences, and find some sense of control in a world that had been turned upside down. I started writing stories, poetry, and even a journal. It was therapeutic, and it allowed me to express myself in a way that words couldn't always come out when I was talking.

For me, it's about being honest and vulnerable. I try to tap into my own experiences and emotions, and then I use that to create a character or scene that readers can relate to. I think that's why people respond so strongly to your stories – they can see themselves in the characters.
