Seven years and seven months, that's what it took to write my ADHD cozy fantasy novel. Would my writing life have looked different if I didn't have ADHD? And what do my fellow writers with ADHD think? Part One of a series on Medium now: medium.com/adhdreads/th... #ADHD #WritingCommunity

Oh I love this! (Sorry I'm late 🤦‍♀️) This works for my book on several levels: scenes that are only there because they're magical (digression for coziness sake), and parts where my characters aren't sure what they're supposed to do (digression for ADHD sake). I didn't think of it this way, thanks!

Time blindness? Feels like that quote from my WIP... I was happy to share some tips to try and combat it on Very Well Mind. Take your time reading! 😉 verywellmind.com/time-persona... And Emma? News of the book - first on my website, kessem.com! 🤗

A quote from Adva Shaviv's cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD (more on kessem.com): Ouch! The bottle fell on Emma's toe, popping the bubble. How long had she stood watching it? What time was it? Probably too late - that was usually it.

That's a great way to frame it! 🔥 The "you'll never know less than you do now" is the part that usually blocks me. I fall into a rabbit hole of obssessive research which (by definition) never ends... 😵‍💫

I haven't heard about this particular person but yes, we get "unfair advantage" all the time! That's why we struggle so much 😤 Absolutely, autistic/ AuDHD people get it too - all NDs. Just to make our lives more interesting... 😜

In the chapter I'm (re)writing, a character expresses common misconceptions about ADHD. Such as: - Women and girls don't have it - If you can do something sometimes, you can do it always - "Everyone is a little ADHD" What are others you've come across? #ADHD

What visually represents ADHD for you? (Yes, I need help rebranding my website 😅) Of course squirrels come to mind, and I should think a roller coaster, too. But is there anything else you might see and immediately think "ADHD"? #ADHD

After beta readers, rewrites, dev edit, fixing last things before line/ copy edit... and can't get to the finish line. Got up at 6:00 AM, sat at my laptop doing nothing for 2 hours. Ugh. So, trying a daily report for self-accountability. Wish me luck! Also, tips are welcome 😊 #writing w/ #ADHD

Once again woke up late and exhausted after waking up in the middle of the night, spending over 2 hours trying to fall back asleep, eventually falling into a dream-crazed sleep in the early morning and ending up thus. Anyone has tips that actually work? 😵 #adhd
