Hearing and speaking words never phases me.
Putting them down in writing promises a sense of permanence for the subject. In writing, I don't have to make a studdering mess out of myself. I have time. I have time to think the exact placement of each letter in a word, proper diction, creativity, and the option to take back what I state.
I can't talk to save my life. Some days, I wish I was born a mute so I can have an excuse not to talk. But, I talk, even though most of the exhaled words are completely alien to the english language. My incessant 'ums' and 'likes' distract from the main point, while I put too much emphasis on the oral presentation of the words.
I wasn't born a speaker, but a writer.
