I had to write papers for class, I wrote them in a British accent. I
don't mean just using words like "bangers and mash"; I mean that as I
was typing it, I was pronouncing all the words in a British accent in my
head.
If your writing is bully, you can't make it sound British. That's my theory.
Also,
I obsess about the contents of anything I write, to the extent that it
takes forever for me to write e-mail, post on 4chan, etc. I read over
what I've written, re-read it, move things around, read it again, and so
on and so forth. I hate "real time" forms of communication because I
can't implement the same editing procedure, leaving me to accidentally
say something I don't mean or be unable to explain what I mean clearly.
If there's a point or decision I really need to make during a
conversation, I'll inevitably delay my thoughts on the matter until I'm
alone and have time to think it through. In my head, I have mock
conversations in which I elaborate on what I couldn't articulate
earlier. Other times, I similarly simulate topics of conversations I
anticipate, such that I may give a well-practiced response in the case
that they come up. |
