On writing

It may go without saying, but writing is a very solitary process. And for someone like me, that can be rather unnerving because I like to bounce ideas off of people. When I'm by myself, though, that isn't possible. But I tend to think out loud and like to really contemplate a problem before committing pen to paper (or fingers to keys, as it were). So, while writing at my desk in my office, I have entire conversations, discussions, even arguments (dare I say boisterous confrontations?) with myself before even realizing how loud I am and how bizarre I must sound. I assume that John is used to it by now, which is why he hasn't had me committed yet.
