Hello Writers! Welcome to the first post of The Lost Word. My name is Amos Landon (he/him) and I’m a writer living with a disability.
For years, I struggled to see myself as a writer. Aren’t writers quick-witted and clever? Some days I can’t find a clever retort if it’s already in my mouth and all I have to do is open wide.
Nowadays, it’s easier to find people who understand my experiences. Still, resources for writers rarely address disability, and vice versa.
So, I created this space to explore that intersection.
Here on The Lost Word, I’ll focus on topics like energy, planning, organization, technology, and of course, writing from a disabled perspective! My goal is to make each article as accessible as possible using:
· Bulleted lists
· Plain language
Get Amos J Landon’s stories in your inbox
Join Medium for free to get updates from this writer.
· Shortish posts
· Short paragraphs
· Bold keywords
Audio versions of each post will be available on Substack, Medium, and Spotify.
I’ll post new articles every Thursday at 6AM Eastern.
I also share my serial fiction, suitable for ages 7+, on:
· Substack
· Wattpad
· Medium
My hope is that The Lost Word provides community and support. I’ll try to ask a Question of the Day in each post, and I hope to hear your answers.
I welcome your questions, stories, and suggestions for future posts!
-Amos
