I just want to write. To create my art.
I know my wife is in the same boat with her own art. We're both disabled and cannot seem to get ahead of the house [since we moved in 5 yrs ago].
We're both auDHD as well so cant create our art in this environment. Then there's the addition of our teen. 😵💫🥴🥺

Gaaah! It deeply frustrates me that even with braces, splints, and a modified pen, that it takes #writing in short bursts because my hand cramps and dislocates because of my #disability
Sigh. Here's to another enforced break. The 5th today.

I cannot believe I'm holding a copy of a book that *i* wrote and published.
It's actually out there for people to read. It blows my mind.

Uncle. I have to consider a different direction on another book I'm writing, but the second installment in my synth-world has been roiling in my brain incessantly. If I can bang out the plot-mapping the way I did for this one today, I'm ready to go on this one. Let's freakin go. #writing #author

My wife, right after I published my book, insisted that I take more of an effort and a focus on my writing. I find myself often fighting my disability an am unable to write every day. It's, for me, a very physical activity, and I cannot write for more than an hour before I cramp irretrievably. 🧵1/2

I have the one book published.
I've started the process on my second book. Shift in genre, but this one has been in my head since I was a kid.

When you're listening to your carefully curated #jazz playlist because you need some low-stimulus, and the next chart is #ornithology, you skip it sadly because you know its going to be too much stimulus. #autism #audhd
