We need to write, otherwise nobody will know who we are. They will have only a vague impression of us as A Nice Person, because frankly, we don’t shine at conversation, we lack the confidence to thrust our faces forward and say, “Hi, I’m Heather Mooten, let me tell you about my week.” Mostly we say “Uh-huh” and “Oh really”. People smile and look over our shoulder, looking for someone else to talk to.
