Happily married Autistic, auto-didactic polymath. Author, photographer, jazz musician, avid reader, sometimes gamer. Amateur historian, archaeologist, and geologist. [Disabled; hEDS]
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 7th grade in their first school play. Another kiddo dropped out and our kiddo got a role upgrade. Man did this kid crush this performance.

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.

At conception we are ALL female and differentiation doesn’t happen for several weeks. Yup a sperm is a sperm, an egg an egg. He just announced we’re all female at conception. Thanks for that.

::Sigh:: Once more for the people in the back. If audiobooks don’t count as reading, then braille isn’t reading either. Stop gatekeeping literacy.

I've finally finished typing out my book. First draft is handwritten, second draft it typed. This is a HUGE #writing milestone for me.

Going to give it a tiny bit of time, but definitely looking to get this one published, so those are the next steps.

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

I've finished the book. Well, at least the hand-written part. Just typing and cleaning it up for the second draft. 💙💙
