The ability to convert thought and speech to the written word. is more than just streaming the conscious mind down into the writting. I know that I could never memorize passages and in a large part spelling. The English language in derived from so many languages that there isn't phonic , so you can sound out at work and spell then in that way. It is that good memorization that is required. I have had the same problem, although concepts, ideas and visual patterns are not a problem for my mind. Rote memorization is not something that my mind wants to do, it doesn't want to have standard locations of files of minutiae that can be retrieved Instantly. It becomes frustrating to be hung up on a spelling of a word, that even Spell Check can't recognize what you are try to spell. So a physical dictionary is necessary to go through to find the work and its spelling. And looking from one word in the dictionary to the next ,I can loose track of the word I'm looking for. So, yes, writing can be difficult to keep the flow of thought moving. Jim I also had a hard time writing and expressing my self.
