Heh... I never could write well and I still don't know cursive, but when I type I make masterpieces. I always focused my studies on writing and art more than anything else. I'm good at math but if it's not for a game I get bored.

I write fairly well and I know I can write long texts easily... but I have nothing to say. I haven't written anything in years -outside of posts in forums and such- because I don't know what to write about. :?

Yes, I would also enjoy some clarity.




I did not have any fine motor delay in learning to write.


The process of organizing language has always been difficult for me. However, once I decided to do it, it was a very worthwhile endeavor to learn and work at.


I had a motor delay and cognitive delay. It's more both really.

My written expression capacity is in the 92nd percentile, and my vocabulary is in the 99th. Writing has always been one of my strengths, and something I greatly enjoy doing. I write stories in my free time and am in the middle of a novel at the moment. I also have a collection of 44 short stories, 42 of which are complete. They're serial-type stories and follow the same characters, like a TV show. I've become very attached to them; at this point, they're like family. Curiously enough, in spite of my strength in writing, my essay composition ability is only in the 68th percentile, indicating that I apparently have issues either organising my ideas, going into enough depth about the subject, or staying on topic, I'm not sure which.

With regard to my manual writing ability, my fine motor skills are much better than they were when I was young. I have legible handwriting, and can be very neat when I take my time, but my hand tires easily and I really hate taking notes in class.

as far as writing with a pencil goes, i have poor fine motor skills, so i write at like a 2nd grade level.
as far as writing stories goes, i can't do that.
even when it comes to thinking up something for a forum game called 'ask a stupid question, give a stupid answer' i can't come up with ideas for that. i can only do realistic Q&A. sometimes i do come up with something clever to say in response to a general post, but it's random. i can't make it happen.

I've always quite liked writing. I like writing stories about the people I am obsessed with, but I can only write in a diary-type of form, but using third person instead of first person. I am no good at writing stories that include every detail of everything.

I spend so much time writing posts on the internet that I have gotten very good at it. A lot of people here tell me that I am very intelligent because of how I write my posts, which annoys me because I don't like being ''intelligent'', I spend more time caring more about my social status than how ''clever'' I am and I don't want to be ''clever''. I think I just write ''good'' posts here because I do enjoy typing and I struggle at getting a word in group conversations so I feel I can say however much I want online because you can't really be interrupted.

Writing was one of the few things that was easy for me, unless we're talking about cursive or good handwriting. :oops:

am not able to write [obviously am able to type posts],mine is more due to the ID side.
am able to use a pen as some sort of line signature but people have to counter sign it because its not a proper signature and because am under the mental capacity act.
