@KellyHood939799 I was diagnosed with ADHD years ago. I just got the autism added to it this year, but AuHD makes so much sense for me. Maybe it will for you, too.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Editing required a new scene my editor & I had agreed on. First first draft in weeks. Got carried away forgot lunch, so guess I’m getting dinner. My Adhd is thrilled & exhausted. My autism is hating the total disregard of schedule. AuHD diagnosis lets me know what’s happening.

@MegIsAutistic AuHD here, I feel you.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

It’s been a long, hard month this week. Anyone else feel the same?

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@MegIsAutistic November 3rd for A Glimmer of Death. Fastest I can manage. Sorry you’re sick.

@AndreiShips First draft is the fun part for me. As long as it’s new my ADHD is happy. Writing a new book also means a regular pattern for my autism but edits have to wait for editor to get back to me so pattern is broken. Edits are hard on both sides of my brain.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Writing went much better today. I had to cut 2 days worth of pages because it’s too late in the edits to add new scenes that aren’t on the list my editor & I agreed on. Plus no adding 1st draft parts in a very final draft because my ADHD is bored with editing & wants new toys.

@MegIsAutistic I’m AuHD so it’s like war inside my head sometimes.

@ArdorDragon My dyslexia was in full swing, so I feel you.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

This is how my writing went today. How did yours go?

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@SenlisHasWings I’m finally at that part of the edits where I can’t skip ahead to the parts that wrote more easily anymore. I must conquer this section and that is the problem.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@Quintenspokemon Over twenty years in the making but totally worth it.

@SelineSigil9 I’ve never heard of Frost saints. Now I must find time to cause this new rabbit hole.

Very important thread! 🙏

@AuthorGFAllen Reading physical books has helped me we discovered my love of reading. Holding something solid in my hands and reading off the page that is not a screen helps me sink into the book and it’s almost meditative.

@SageHillfarms You are welcome. Look at that little face. We’ve never fostered a kitten or puppy that small. 💖
