Writing is many things?a journey of creativity, self-expression, and storytelling. But if you're a neurodivergent author?especially one with ADHD?it can also feel like running a marathon through quicksand. The blank page stares you down. Deadlines loom, unblinking.

That's where this guide comes in.
