I don't mind helping out by writing and sending you in sections something based on your ideas within the restrictions of my time. You can PM me a small section of key parts and I can write it up and if you like it I can continue to help. For that though, you would have to try to see past your trust issues. I don't expect compensation and I could be a ghost writer if you like. The only proviso is that depending on how monumental the task is, if you have specific deadlines I may not be able to meet those.


Thanks again whirlingmind. You have been so patient... this could possibly help me get through the writers block but I don't know if it will help with the bigger issues because people need to know all the elements to really help solve the issues I have. But for smaller stuff this could help.

Please keep in mind I am figuring all this stuff out on the fly... so it takes time to weigh my options etc. That;s why I really appreciate your patience...

I have always done notes now and written parts. There was a story I quit writing in 2008 and then went back to it this year. I do real events, things I have read, my fantasy, my imagination. It's still fiction. I like doing a story about a socially awkward girl who is also learning disabled. Sometimes asking people helps and they give me ideas or tell me what the characters say and rarely they will write a part for me.

Writer's blocks suck. Everyone gets them, even professional authors.

Thanks league girl. For me writing is kind of like getting up in front of people and speaking... I feel that kind of anxiety about it. I guess a lifetime of getting blamed for things as an undiagnosed aspie will do that o you maybe.
