Alright, so, I am currently roleplaying on one of our affiliates forums. I won't say which one, however you'll know by the post that I'm about to quote that it's a Sailor Moon forum. Regardless, I am currently RPing with a girl that I think is pretty damn inspirational, and let me say why.
This woman has overcome one very big odd, in that she is blind. She has some vision, but not enough to function, and she uses a reading program that reads posts out to her and then reads back what she is writing. This is a free program that she uses, and this is her first post while posting to me.
I've bolded every spelling error that she made. I'm sure there's grammatical errors in there, but her writing is legible, and for her first post she has made a five paragraph post. Four spelling errors. Four.
The next time that you decide to tell me that you can't make a good post, I'm going to link you back to this page, and I'm going to show you what a legally blind girl can write. I hope this can give a little inspiration to you all. It certainly made me want to try harder and stop slacking.
The point of the thread is that I don't want to see people slacking off on your posts. Because if someone can post like that with a disability, you have no excuse. She's being told to do better on the forum that she's on, and I agree, always push yourself to your limit in your posting. But if someone like that can post like that, you have no excuse not to do your absolute best other then pure laziness.

The night was a bit cool and dark. The wind wasn't much, which helped stablize the weather, but for Tsukino Kayla it might as well have been gusting up a storm. She hated being out at night and in the dark, but sometimes surviving ment doing things you didn't want to be doing. And, ever since youma started to attack a few months ago it made being out at night all the more worse, especially for a woman who had very little night vision. Not that the streets weren't somewhat lit with streetlights. It didn't help.
Kayla had been living here a little under a year, having moved to the city about a month before the youma attacks started where she had met Sailor Moon for the first time. Part of her mission was completed when she found the rabit, but she still had a long way to go.
However, she was on her way home with her orange tabby Precious who was sitting peacefully on her lap. She had decided to potrol the tokyo streets, but did not want to do so in her guise as Sailor Gwaten. So she had taken her cat out on its leash and just went around town. She was on her way back home deciding to call it a night when she thought she heard someone seemingly having a conversaion with themselves. That wasn't unusal, perhaps maybe some local nut job. It wasn't as common here, but that didn't mean it didn't exist, but that's not what made her freeze in her tracks. She felt somethinbg, power perhaps.... that was a deffent red flag. Her hands tightly gripped the handrails of her wheelchair forcing herself to stop the palms burning slightly as the cold metel rubbed aginst her flesh. That was one downside to manual wheelchairs.
Precious's head shot up as it fallowed the movment of the red-haired woman who had emeraged. Somehow he must have seen something Kayla did not.
Kayla was on her guard as she soothed the animal fallowing the path away from the docks and back into the main part of the city, the footfalls in front of her indicating that what spooked Precious was nearby. If it was just another human there was only one way out so it wasn't like Kayla had much of a choice. Now did she?
