Per Stef:
People who can write via dictation have always amazed me. Something I
could never do. One would think if you can think it and type it, you
can just speak it. Doesn't work that way. At least with me, and a
whole lot of other writers.

Some people are just born "composers".

Guy in my college dorm, for instance... The rest of us would be pulling
an all-nighter getting the Monday essay ready for English 101 (1
mechanical error, grade drops 1 grade; 2 mechanical errors grade drops 2
grades; 3 mechanical errors = F) - except for this guy.

He would just sit down at his typewriter and type 10 pages or so without
stopping except for the occasional typo-fix pause.

We'd ask "How you do dat?" and he would reply that he had been working
on it all week... and it just needed to be put on paper.
