A friend of mine tells that I talk in shorthand and then smudge it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try to write conversationally; I try to write like people speak and put the emphasis on the right syllable.
When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.
You can tell a lot in shorthand.
Always write as if you are talking to someone. It works. Don't put on any fancy phrases or accents or things you wouldn't say in real life.
I talk with my hands. Some people don't like that. That's who I am.
There's shorthand that happens when you work with someone you know where you can almost finish each other's sentences. There's just a certain back and forth that becomes much easier with someone you've worked with for so long.
I don't curse when I talk. Unless I'm mad.
Like, even when I speak, I think I speak the same way I write. I kind of see it a certain way, and it leads me to write it exactly how I'm seeing it.
I talk by playing, not by words.
I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
