![]() Meanwhile, her disability and mental illnesses are part of what inspired her to become an author and otherwise a writer-she wanted to use all that she had endured (including her disability and mental illnesses, and having her heritage from her) to write down-as she puts it-the real stories (from which her first book gets its title). Besides, being on SSI benefits and almost $25K in student-loan debt made (and at the time of this writing, makes) her feel like a burden on the taxpayer and like she had (and has) wasted her time going to UMBC-since what was (and is) worth having a degree if all she was (and is) worth was (and is) a burden, waste, and stigma because of her disability and her mental illnesses? Eventually, nonetheless, the "Times of Israel" told her that the TOI blogosphere was moving in another direction and ended her blog, although archives of the blog are available-which is why she was surprised when Hadassa WordPress' Elena Djima offered her the opportunity to publish a book with Hadassa WordPress.Ĭzarnecki took the opportunity, since she had been praying for an opportunity to-for example-find a career and pay off her student loans by doing something that she loved to do. Her blog entries consisted of information such as how she found out that she is Jewish-which took her 18.5 years and two days to find out!-and how her father and paternal grandparents, particularly her paternal grandfather, were unamused that she had found out her real birth heritage (So much for being born a Polish-Lithuanian and Czechoslovakian American, since Ashkenazi-and-Sefardi-Jewish-descended American is much more accurate!). In fact, she was discovered by Hadassa WordPress when she had blogged for the "Times Of Israel", on which she typed quite a few blog entries! ![]() Overcoming many odds-including surviving a Category-Three brainbleed which effected her to have Cerebral Palsy-Czarnecki lived to walk, talk, and write (despite that she didn't walk until May 26, 1994-which God must've scheduled in order for her to walk on her maternal grandmother's 67th birthday, thus giving her grandmother a wonderful birthday gift!).Ĭzarnecki was expected to be able to only type and not write, and she ironically ended up writing with her left hand and typing with only her pointer finger on each of her hands! She uses the computer-including the Internet-quite prolifically, thus typing quite well in spite of what limitations she has. The stories must be correctly formatted and were prohibited from using misleading titles.Born on January 23, 1990-almost three months early!-Nicole Czarnecki was not expected to live-let alone walk, talk, or write if she did live.
