    I would have a novel or two finished by now, if not for various Ds and Ses.

    It usually (in attempts from my teens) goes like the first couple of paragraphs describing nature, some for the later parts of the book describing various locations and situations, and then I find myself unable to describe people as they behave. That would be my ASD chiming in, I guess, impaired theory of mind and all that. My characters are pretentious, awkward and flat. Sometimes I’d figure out the mood to write from their POV, and then it would seem to feel better. But all that doesn’t matter cause ADHD.
