I did Starrsky, he knows how much i appreciate the written word and so delights in anything i write, he's so adorable!
I understand what you're saying perfectly, it's much easier to write something that just comes out in five minutes, and edit it later, than sitting there trying to write something. When you have to formulate ideas it makes it so much more difficult. I think i've replaced the creativity with just 'stream-of-consciousness' blogging, letting all the thoughts trail into the next. It works just as well for getting things out of my head.
