You're right there, Syc. No matter how simple a plan or view of a situation seems to be , it's always a surprise when I try to organize my thoughts on paper. Forcing myself to think linearly and follow each thought line to it's conclusion.
If you say "I know but I just can't put it into words", thats a cop out. If you can't put it into words, you haven't thought it through. Your just swirling a bunch of emotions around in your head like brandy in a snifter.
You know that old saw about "If you're pissed at someone, write them a letter but don't mail it", will get it out of your system. That works pretty well, and if you're still pissed you can take the letter to them and stick it up their nostril.
