This was not the most productive week I've had recently. My vision issues really cranked up, as did the shaking in my hands (which makes it difficult to type or draw). Then, of course, this week was Thanksgiving here in the US, and imagine trying to entertain family on a major holiday when your own body isn't cooperating.
The only reason I mention this here, in a project journal, is because there will be times when I don't get as much work done in the span of a week as I would like to. It used to be really frustrating but now I have learned to accept that I will have productive periods, and times where I won't be as traditionally productive (meaning that even when I'm not producing high volume, what I do produce will be high-quality).
Part of why I chose the project I did, and the reason a number of my other projects focus on characters with disability, is because, as a person with multiple disabilities, I want to bring attention to people like myself who have talent and desire but aren't always considered "productive" enough for the workforce. I hope to normalize the concept of accommodation as a just another tool in the box to help people get their jobs done. I could go into a Dr Pepper fueled sermon on how accommodations aren't a way for people with disabilities to "get away with something" but that's for another time, and a different blog :)
