Introduction: Writing is beyond my reach - or so I thought
Introduction: Writing is beyond my reach - or so I thought
"Writing is serious business" I've been told and supposedly it can't be done unless you've mastered all the rules and tricks in the book.
That - statement to an extent - seems to be true as long as your goal is to chase after traditional publishers and you have the money along with the time to burn so an editor would fix mistakes you might have left in your manuscript.
However I found that my goals have shifted from writing in a professional manner to writing just for the sake of telling a story and reach audiences with it while using the tools I have within my reach.
This page is dedicated to helping people with writing difficulties to tell a story. Any story in any way they see fit. The important thing is to not let the tales die before they could reach an audience which isn't overly concerned with the traditional formats and willing to overlook mistakes just so they could enjoy the ride.
If you suffer from dyslexia but still want to tell a tale or you simply feel stuck at any point of writing, this could be the page where you find company, inspiration and maybe even methods to work on your writing and make a home for your stories.

To write for telling a story, you don't need fancy tools.
All you'll need is a gmail address and with that you've got access to all the tools used in this process
It can be a fun process and you can find yourself picking up a lot of knowledge simply by doing research for your stories,
Here is the list of tools - you can call it the "Starter Pack" you can expand on:
- Gmail - for staying in touch
- Drive - to organize your work and resources
- Sheets - for plotting chapters and track progress
- Maps - for research and inspiration
- Jamboard - to make a storyboard or scrapbook for reference or brainstorm with someone
