Do you write stories?

Post Reply New Topic

For a long time now I have been planning on writing a story. Like a short book. It will be based on me and my move to a small seaside town. It will be pure fiction. Sort of a supernatural mystery. The boy in it will be autistic and able to pick up on things others don't. I have that as a premise, but have no real idea for the entire plot yet. I have read people with autism are not supposed to be good with fantasy fiction.

Never written one but I would like to one day, probably fan-fiction if I do though. CBF creating a new universe.

A story like that sounds like a terrific idea! A lot of my protagonists have Aspergian-like traits, but I haven't written any that actually feature an Aspergian. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I do. I wrote my first story when I was 16 for a workshop that focused primarily on short movies.

Yep, I have done fanfiction and my own original work but right now I do is fantasy/kink stories using the same character I made when I was 15 but now she is an adult than a 15 year old. I go back and forth with her being a kid and adult because of different stories I write. It's like the Legend of Zelda where Link goes back and forth to being an adult and child. I have even posted my work online. Sometimes I do short stories and other times I do long stories.

Yep, been writing for a long time now. On part 11 of my long running series and have published some stories online, including on the now defunct Jottify.

Part 11?! Blimey! I just finished a trilogy in the summer, which took me nearly three years to write, and now I'm starting a different one.

Hello, dear. Congratulations on your decision to become an author! I am a writer (and have written professionally since 1999), but I write articles, and they're primarily non-fiction (informative and/or health, for the most part). I have, however, written a few short stories, including a story of a fish being caught, from the fish's perspective. It was a sort of a morbid-humor piece. ("You think YOU'RE having a bad day? I get the bitching from the wife in the morning about not bringing in enough algae only to walk out the door and have some moron shove a hook into my face!")

I do find it's more difficult to write fiction. (That's just me.) In my case, it's more achieving an engaging plot than the actual writing.

If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

Oh my goodness!! The talent around here! I would loved to read your work some time.

Well I have been working on it for about ten years now. Originally it was a trilogy, I just kept on writing. Trouble is, I write with pen and paper before typing it up and I'm a slow typer, plus I'm easily distracted.

During 7th grade, for fun. I showed them to my Language Arts teacher.

i think the "autistic people are bad at fantasy/fiction" thing is BS!
who the hell decided that they know every autistic person...?
i think that many autistic people have big imaginations and think of scenarios that NT people often wouldn't.

anyways as for me, i'm a decent writer but i don't like to write so much. i do like to make stories in a physical (material) way, though.

I do try on occasion. I find world-building more rewarding than the actual writing, though.

I write poetry, and prose-poems, too

I do hope you will share your story. It would be cool if we could read it in installments.

Charles Dickens used to publish installments of his novels in various newspapers.

In response to NothingWoman:
Well, the problem is that I've written them all out, but just can't get around to typing them [school tires me out way too much, even though I only have two in class classes and an online one]. Do you like fantasy at all? My books deal with a lot of 'heavy' topics like metaphysics, different types of magical energy, identity crises, and amnesia.

i'm all right at technical writing but at fiction i completely fail.. everything i turn out writing seems completely wrong and stilted somehow. you'll probably do better than me
