My current WIP is a fantasy story about a 15-y-o wheelchair-bound girl. The main reason I'm posting is because I am curious if any one reading this has had, or is having, in-depth experience with wheelchairs.
The first short-story I ever wrote was called WHEELCHAIR. It was inspired by the old wheelchair a relative used to have but never used - and a story where another relative got into a wheelchair and went down a hill that almost sloped at a 90-degree angle. It won me a writer's contest and $50. I've never personally used a wheelchair, at least not unless it were for recreational purposes.
Sorry if I'm not much help, CF, but you know I try.
But that doesn't answer the question at hand, does it?
HERE GOES:
-A short-story, possibly novella, about salvation, concerning a kid who plans to commit suicide at a party he is having his family put together without their knowledge. Along the way kid starts finding reasons to live and wrestles with whether or not his idea is such a good one. It deals with the fact that life is better lived, not cut short: 5 pages.
-Another short-story, possibly novella, about appreciation: concerning a kid who plays a mediator divorcing parents; older and younger siblings; his boss and coworkers; and his two best friends, a boyfriend and girlfriend with relationship problems...he plays this part so well for so long he halts all ambitions of his own and becomes an emotional robot. When he has the opportunity to actually switch roles, however, and vent his own problems and needs, he is denied that chance, and goes into an emotional spiral. It analyzes the idea that you can't fix every problem you face, not without help: 11 pages.
-A horror story about a bathroom: 30-something pages.
-Student screenplay, based on the single-most important spiritual event in my life, right next to my actual salvation: 88 pages
-Current fantasy-allegory series, first book: analyzes responsibilty and all that entails. The protag works for a secret church-owned organization that deals with fantasy-situations, in a very fractured-fairy-tale sort of way, the military can't or won't; usually threats to national security. A satire for a lot of situations Christians have to face in their lifetime. All in all, actual story: about 200 pages. Plans, story-maps, outlines, notes: about 10,000.
-Legend of Zelda fan-script, meant for writing exercises: 122 pages...I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

I have to say, sunstruck, CF, and Neoscribe, your ideas sound really cool! You guys need a beta-reader?
My gosh, you're alive! How are ya?
