    Chatter.


    I don't like talking. I'm not really that good at it. I am better on paper.  I am a writer. I don't mean Ernest Hemingway, I mean I do better putting my thoughts on paper rather than just thinking extemporaneously.

    I like to clean up and edit before I state my mind.

    So, I don't talk much unless the coffee hits me. Then I have to force myself to shut up already.

    I think that's a good thing. Once you say it there is no way to clean it up, tighten it up,  spruce it up. It's gone asi-is. When you write it down you can savor it, review it, change it, tune it up until you get it just the way you want it and then you let 'er rip. Of course you can also regret sending it but the odds are more in your favor that you will regret what you say more than what you write. So of course I'm gonna ask a question about it. Thank you for your reply Sharon.
