You know, I do the same. I find that there is so much in my head when it's something important, that my wrists and fingers begin to hurt just thining about typing, and it all rushes on and about in my head so fast that it hurts---it's too tiring to relive, and would probably take me ....hours.

I'd wind up doing it gross injustice, or get lost in the writing of it and forget half the mental processes, or just wind up with something plain unreadable.
