Like you I have always enjoyed writing rather than talking. My late husband was the talker in our relationship. Me? I ran out of wind. LOL. But seriously, writing is way easier than talking, especially if you have something that's difficult to say. It's easier to write out the thoughts.

On a side note, I met a person in a writing community and we had wonderful conversations with each other. I had no idea she was deaf until she told me. Writing is an equalizer.
