Writing has been Brooke Smith’s everything. The Denham Springs native was born 26 years ago with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects her ability to talk and walk.
She can only type with one finger, her left index finger. Most days, she writes for nine hours straight to meet deadlines. But as she puts it: “Nothing will stop me.”
She’s shared her story in a documentary produced about her, A Love Story for Brooke. She writes for websites and creates short stories for the mobile app Texties. She also has a personal blog, Creative Works by Brooke Smith.
