I find that I can usually explain my ideas better in conversation than I can in writing, although once in a while I do impress myself. Mostly it’s because I get feedback during the discussion which allows me to clarify confusing points, although I can be long winded.
Mostly though, I think I have to be in the mood to edit—I can write quite a bit as I’m intelligent—but I have untreated ADD, so while I can join lots of ideas together in a smart fashion, it’s the adjusting of the timing and fit of various thoughts and progression of ideas that takes more effort than I can manage most of the time.

So I just delete it. It is a shame I think.
