Yay! I found the Word document of the book I ghost-wrote on autism. I remembered how I wrote that book until I wanted to puke and I hated myself so much for accepting that job. Now that I reread it, albeit all the typos, I realised that it is really valuable. It consisted interviews of many specialists and all that. The book is no longer in the market. Maybe I will upload it here one day. I've never received that book nor have I ever seen the final edited copy. However, I'm just thankful that at least I got paid for the job though, yeah, I'm pretty sure I was underpaid. Still, better than nothing.
P/S: Apparently, a lot of writers are not willing to do it and quit. I was the only one stupid enough to finish that book. Well, at least I hope it helped people although not the people in Malaysia (Singapore).
Well, at least we know that some autistics have more than a "ghost of a chance" to get help with the way they experience life. Being neuro-divergent is a bit of a challenge at times, I can assure you. Whatever success I have in social settings has been learned in much the same way as I have learned math, science, and history.
"Ghost-writing." That is a funny expression. How do the keys on the keyboard press down?
Apparently, there are two versions: The weekly and monthly ones. I'm very tempted to join both. Tomorrow is officially one week so I really need to get started. I promise my first one will be very, very, very bad.
Update: Wait! I just read the rules. These are interconnected.

Good thing that being good isn't one of the requirements for the challenge! I'm attempting it too, although I already have no idea what I'll do for next week...
Anni Pon - Yay! That's okay. Let's just work on our first story. We'll figure out the rest when the time comes. I won't have time to touch this today. Maybe tomorrow...
This is beautifully written. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. It's not talked about very much, but it's a lot more common than people think. Which means you aren't alone! I hope writing this helped in some small way.
Anni Pon - Hey there, Anni. Thank you for your kind words. It's very difficult to deal with and it has taken many years off my life. I'm very sad, but I don't want to dwell on it any longer because I am so sick of living like that. My friends all have children so I no longer connect with them as we are no longer in the same life path. It is a very lonely road, but indeed writing the poem helps a lot. After a good cry or two, I think I will be okay.
Does kitchen work ever stop? I mean, you wake up, you get hungry, you grocery shop, create a mess when you prep and cook, eat your meal and by the time you clean up, you get hungry again and do this again. Three times a day everyday? Won't you get mad? How do you have time to do anything else?
Elycia Lee ☮ Happy 2025! - I have no idea if it's true or not. I long ago gave up on wondering about purpose and meaning, in favor of just living. Sometimes, that includes living with dirty dishes and takeout food.
Woo hoo! I watched a spectacular fireworks display and honestly, I still can't believe we are in 2025. Really? One of these days, we will transition more acceptably into the new year.

- Yeah, one week at a time. I just did my first entry: "Young Love" 
- Nah. Writing a poem helps me move on. I have no one to tell this to except to two other human beings.

Happy Birthday, Elycia!
