My name is Glyn Williams; I am twenty five years old and from South Wales. All my life I’ve been the type of person who never quite knew what the future held for them, I always thought I’d just deal with what came my way but a few years ago something came my way I never expected. My vision began to decline and after several months of testing I was diagnosed with genetic Optic Nerve Atrophy leaving me visually impaired to a degree. At that time a lot changed for me in a negative way, feeling down and useless I began to think of things I could do to show I still have some worth. Over the years many ideas had crossed my mind so I decided to start writing a book, at first it was just for my own sense of accomplishment but the more I wrote the more I enjoyed it and my family urged me to consider getting it published. Part of me never thought it would happen but much to my surprise people seemed to like my story, suddenly I had achieved something great for the first time in my life and although I still have personal issues I struggle with I no longer feel completely useless.
Guest Post:
The writing process itself was slightly more difficult for me as with my condition I found it hard to spot errors I made along the way and I had to increase the font size to make out what I wrote, so after every session I had to change it back to normal to check how much I’d written that day. Also I must mention that without my families encouragement there’s a good chance I would have given up on the book, I’ve had self confidence issues my whole life so part of me thought that nothing I created would be any good but my loved ones convinced me otherwise. To thank them in a way I did give certain characters similar names to theirs, some characters however are pure creations of my imagination. Something’s I tried to do is deal with serious real life issues with both realism & respect and do my best to treat all the characters equally regardless of gender, age, race or sexuality, I made sure not to restrict my characters and let them be both strong and vulnerable, tough and emotional, I didn’t want to use any typical stereotypes when writing my characters. Overall during the whole process the thing I asked myself countless times is, If I was the reader what would I want to see? Asking myself that question helped me come up with several parts of the story and improve others. While writing Nature vs. Nurture I was careful not to write anything that would insult anyone’s faith, I did alter some things to make my own version of the supernatural but always tried my best to be respectful.
