[Blindtlk] Suggestions on being a better writer being blind later in life

[Peter Wolfe]

To those humble souls better writers than me:


    Where would you recommend someone to start to become a better
english writer for older blind persons like myself? I wasn't born with
congenial blindness, but became blind with an LHON heredetary disease
at the age of seveenteen. I never had a particular good upbringing of
being beaten on by an alcoholic father, so never had the education
that I could have had in a better environment. Being raised in a
single family home that the attention was given to my older siblings
not me. I don't even know the basic grammar rules that much not even
real basics at all. Lastly, I did get a GED (General Education
Diploma) and even a bachelors of arts in political science still
english grammar elludes me and tired of being ridiculed on lists such
as ACB-Chat, online forums and other places cause of something beyond
my control.

    Secondly, I'll explain what I'm working with home so you are
better informed of how to help me. I am fairly fluent with literary
braille 1 and 2 (contracted) braille. I'm not familar with nemeth,
computer or music braille at all. I own a Perkin's Brailler that is in
storage that is quite a distance from me without paper. I use
Window-Eyes with no Office Suites installed with Word, Excell, Access
or Powerpoint on this machine just notepad and word pad I'm afraid. No
audio equipment or even a flat bed scanner either just in case you
were wondering nor state and stylist or anything remotely like them
here.

    Lastly, I am only part of the National Library Service not part of
either Bookshare or Learning Alli either neither of which had the
books that is right for my learning ways for a remedial english
writer. I ordered for the numerous times english grammar book one
volume from NLS without it showing up at all. I keep e-mailing and
calling without any success in Montgomery, Al at all. This isn't the
first time the last time was a year ago. I am aware of the Hadley
School just want more resources to decide what direction to do it in.
Thank you for any online resources or anything and if your going to be
negative don't reply or comment on the post at all. I don't have the
time or energy whether you were part of the lists or corresponded with
me on this matter or anything else. Life is too short to waste my or
your time with making a pointless argument that you think your smarter
or bred better or come from high class society cause I don't care.



Thank you so much,
Peter
