sister_luckLately, and probably due to exile from real-life interaction, I find myself even more worried than usual about my inability to find the right words.
Written communication, such as blogging, commenting, emailing, old-fashioned letter-writing, calls for clear unambiguous statements.
I've always been someone who frets about what she said and ponders endlessly how inappropriate her comment must have seemed. But with spoken conversation, one can always hope that the other person didn't notice or will soon forget. The written word stays on the page and keeps on accusing the writer of sloppy thinking and badly-chosen words.
