Hey...

I'm Normalcy. I'm an aspiring writer with way too many plot ideas for my own good.

I have a neurological disorder which makes it hard for me to voice/type my thoughts out in a manner which makes sense. Heck, once I even gave my college professor directions to my home by describing the shrubbery in front of my house. (And only the shrubbery!) I'm hoping I can improve these skills during my time here, as well as help others spot inconsistencies and points in their writing that they wouldn't otherwise notice.

See ya around...
Normalcy

Welcome.

In Bill Bryson's book Notes From a Small Island he talks about Englishmen in a pub giving traffic directions using such things as shrubbery. "You turn at the gate, you know, the one with the hawthorn, but with a little heather mixed in . . . "

Welcome. I can't imagine trying to write with a neurological condition like that. It's hard enough picking the right details as is. Good job for pushing through some difficulties and writing.
