Is there a name for it? That sensation of being able to speak fluent thoughts in one's mind, but once it exits the mind and finds itself being typed out on the keyboard, all sense of coherency is lost? And what's left over are words best expressed with the mental capacity of a little kid? Even as I'm typing this right now, that ability to say exactly what was running through my mind has been lost, its essence and intensity merely dulled to incoherent thoughts sporadically running around through this text. Is it the action of using the backspace, that by erasing grammatical errors and misspellings in order to craft one's words, you, in a way, backtrack on that grace and sensation of knowing what you want to say? Or maybe it's the typing, that click-click-clicking sound like a metronomic cadence that disturbs your thoughts and leaves your mind floundering for the right words to deliver. Maybe it'd be best to write it out rather than use the keyboard, will that make this task more verbose or verbal? Apologies for the flowery language, it's a flaw of my writing style that I'm hoping to fix.
