“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.”
Flannery O’Connor, American novelist, short story writer and essayist.
I can relate to this. Can you?
Written for Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt.

Love this! Too true. Sometimes we don’t know how we truly feel or think until we right it down!

So much. Writing helps me figure and sort. I stumble with words when I speak, but writing allows a fluidity that I frustratingly lack in conversation at times.
