Aspie authors writing social interaction

Post Reply New Topic

I've worked around some of my concepts and really like the decision I've come to, right now I'm researching politics and different governments. The story I'm going to be working on is like this basically: you know how the Redwall series is about heroic mice standing upright fighting with swords and being all brave and cool? Take that concept but apply it to a more modern setting, add in all sorts of small furry animals (cats, canines, ferrets, weasels, birds, etc) and add in the most absurd, manipulative, silly politics ever. The world of the story is geographically identical to our own, mostly..you have Africa, Asia, North and South America etc..some countries even have their own counterparts, such as France, Italy etc. Other (most) countries are split up very differently though there are quite a few parallels to our own real world, such as disputes over natural resources, territory etc. I guess the political thing makes it kinda like Animal Farm too.

You may be saying: well damn that's the stupidest s**t I've ever read! Cats and dogs flying fighter jets and in tanks? Birds in the chain of command? Why don't the cats eat them? Well, I'm working on that and again I'd like to reference Redwall again, since mice don't do the things...those mice do. I'd like to do multiple books and have several conflicts figured out but I'm in a mega research process now, the first story (though not chronologically the first) is going to about a battle vaguely based on the Iraq-Iran war conflict, in that it involves two similar countries who hate each other very much and are being aided by different super powers. The protagonists (the allied forces in the book) initially start out on one side and do well but manipulative and greedy politics start to screw them over and make the conflict escalate and worsen. Lots of cool battles planned but unlike a Tom Clancy book (not the biggest fan of him actually) this story is more of a fun fictional romp with twists and turns but obvious satire.

The conflict will be referred to as The War of Passive Aggression.

This idea sounds interesting.

I for myself have a big problem. I have too much ideas and I think I could never even finished one of them.

Now Ouggiri's story has almost 2,300 words in it, and I just completed the second chapter. That may not necessarily be the last chapter I write today though.

Up to 3,400 words and four chapters now!

This isn't really on topic..but kind of, but I'm finding myself really annoyed with Armor just because of how much small talk and social interaction is used to pan out the book. Christ. Maybe I should post in the book topic instead but its really annoying me.

Anime habitually trips me up. It's a little aggravating, really. Makes it difficult for me to stay with a story. A story would begin with a simple idea then, out of the blue, something happens so strangely that I have to stop and think, "How is this happening?" or "Why is this happening? or "How is this possible?" Characters would be suddenly introduced where I'm have to stop and look up their meaning in the internet. I'd get lost because it seems I would've had to have done some homework somewhere before approaching this particular anime.

I like stories where the characters, motives, and scenery is believable, or at least plausible. When things just happen for the sake of continuing a story I feel both lost and cheated. I just can't accept an illogical story as is. Blood: The Last Vampire was relatively easy to grasp. Some of 'em, though. Wow!

One of the comments to the Book Review featured a woman who was reminded of Asperger Syndrome in her husband after reading Coetzee’s Summertime:

Personally, I was able to relate parts of my life to a few parts of Coetzee's 'Summertime' e.g., relations with Father, non-tradtional vs. traditional educational experiences, current and recent social, economic, and political issues in the U.S.

"Yes, I've been told my writing indicates a style of 'novel' (no pun intended) viewpoints of the world-- which can be one of many criteria for deciding possible Nobel Prize Authors."

John Coetzee had won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. Could Coetzee have been the first Author with Aspergers to win the Nobel Prize in Literature?

Any other Authors (including Bestselling Authors Who’ve written content unrelated to Aspergers/Autism) who are believed to have Aspergers?

This is my primary concern with my writing. I feel that I struggle to write 'natural' dialogue. I feel it bleeds into my descriptions as well.

Hi, I recently completed and self-published two steamy romance novels featuring an Aspergian narrator/leading man in each story. They are actually a two-part series.

The first novel is called "Topless Delivery - The Myrtle Beach Experience". The title refers to the car, not the driver. David, my Aspergian narrator, delivers pizzas in Myrtle Beach after completing his MBA and meets Ashley, a dancer/model/socialite, on a routine delivery who changes his life forever. A major challenge here is coming out to her with his AS diagnosis.

The sequel is called "Forever Autumn - The Myrtle Beach Experience Continues." In the sequel, David faces new challenges like working a 9 to 5 office job and living with a partner (Ashley) who wants a traditional marriage and a family. Another major challenge for any Aspergian is surviving his Engagement Party, his fiancee's Graduation Party, and the Company Christmas Party...all within the space of three weeks...while keeping his sanity in tact.
