I have had a lifelong barrier, fear of writing a word.
I am intellectually and verbally firm, but when I put it down on paper things go very wrong.
Form filling is a nightmare if there is a need for elaboration and creative wording about my career expectations.
I hunt through and choose short easy familiar words instead of expansive, creative, flowing, intellectually-shaking wonderful words.
Oh, I know them, they are very familiar to me and I long to use them with a creative flourish, if only my brain could be attached to paper without the use of a pen.
If I could think them down, see them cascading over the page in fluent picturesque abundance.
Now I have discovered a wonderful key! Spell-check, it's part of my computer package.
Now I am set free, I can't stop writing; words are pouring out from me.
Alright, sometimes I am stumped when I am given a choice and a dictionary is needed to finish the word I really mean,
On one or two occasions I still make an error but, oh gosh, it is getting better and better.
Now I will show you!
The world of words has swung open for me, I am free!!!
