I recently got a publishing contract with a small publishing house, no advance. Hartford is trying to make a case that if I can write a book I'm not disabled and can earn money. First of all, I can only write for a little each day and only on good days. Secondly, there is no guarantee that I'll make a dime. Also, there is the issue of royalties vs. earnings. Basically, Hartford is saying if I can write a book I'm not disabled, and they are taking away the thing I love the most. Any experience or knowledge about this type of thing?

I am disabled and dance wildly and lovingly through visualization. On many levels dancing even by thought energizes my body. If I need to bolster my spirit I listen to music and dance because no pill is as effective. I love watching people dance as well because I feel their energy and enjoyment as well.
