Working on a new blog/podcast/video on masking as an autistic author.
Usually about halfway through a piece i can't pull it together. Graf's, subheads, logical flow, TOPIC SENTENCES ...
It's probably the #autism... I struggle. I run outta spoons...

But I can structure an illustration without "word thinking": foreground, background, highlights, space, flow, palette...
Comes natural... So I "creatively procrastinate"...an illustration for what I want to say.
Magically afterwards? Graf's & topic sentences write themselves.
👉 Anybody else something similar?
This will probably be a TikTok by weekend. I'll post here too.

@johnnyprofane1 I have so many draft blog posts for this same reason. Sometimes, maybe months later, I can look back at them, and maybe I only need to add a few words, and wonder what the hold up was!
I feel I do the same thing with reading. I can pick up a book and not get the meaning. Then pick it up months, maybe even years later, and it makes perfect sense!
Ikr?
What is that?
I'm exploring some "variable ability" experiences from a state of consciousness perspective...
Likex sometimes some of my individual brain centers go on vacation... Even as others keep on chugging...
Like i literally can't play music... Can't remember how to draw... For months... Then they're back....
Dunno... I don't think so. It will be an exploration... once I have it done... we can explore together?
