I think I'm similar, because I tend to feel like I'm figuring things out as I go along. Although Readercon got me thinking about a lot of different things, I'm just not that good at talking about them coherently.

I find I think better when I'm typing, so sometimes I just make an entry and save it as a draft and never post it. There's something about the idea of having to articulate it so someone else can understand that forces me to dig into it more?
