I think there's a certain amount of truth to that...I often find it easier to put something in writing than say it out loud...
I once knew a drinker who had a moderating problem...

Perhaps I am a rarity among writers but I have never been at a loss for words, either spoken or written. But each form of communication necessarily takes a different form. The written word is notoriously more formal in tone (unless the subject deals with the common), and is much more difficult to formulate because of this. I find that writing takes more patience and forbearance than the spoken word. Speaking can be more fun, writing can be more gratifying. Both can be soul developing. And a way into your own heart.

I have never had a problem making eye contact in conversation, but I do have some difficulty expressing myself as clearly as I'd like. However, with writing, I have the time to think of what I want to say. I was surprised to find I have a vocabulary that I would never use in everyday conversation but have it accessible when writing.
