It needs a lot of research and technical help on a vriety of topics, but I&#8217;m <em>all in<\/em> on finishing it!<\/p>\n<p>My earlier novels have been started because of a deep relationship with the topics either from experiences, dreamt of experiences (dance themes) or visits to sites that impacted me (Tasman). This story has taken a different route. It&#8217;s grown on me as I have come to know my main character and her circumstances: being the only deaf student in a hearing school and wanting to play on the basketball team. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t expect to hear much about Megan, my POV character, for quite a while. She&#8217;s given me lots of details to work out. Thanks to a special friend who works with deaf and hard-of-hearing students I&#8217;m hoping to create a YA book that shares issues and unexpected surprises in the life of one young woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,293,14,298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musings","category-nanowrimo","category-new-works","category-sticks-and-stones"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5162"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5964,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5162\/revisions\/5964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paddyeger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
