Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Indeed, I am nodding my head! You nailed the motivation of writers. Delightful touches of humor.
sugg rework:
For that, it takes an ability that is close to being an introvert=>
For that, an introverted bent is advantageous.
I try not to talk like a sped-up recording [SUGG OMIT: when speaking].
Look at Margaret Atwood or JK Rowling for [one=>TWO].
There was [one other=>A] person at the table who I knew liked writing songs.
but I'm speaking to writers of all levels on this site [which=>WHO] may share a similar story.

Thanks, Elizabeth for correcting that poor wording. I typed in who, and that damn Grammarly kept changing it back to which. Gotta blame something! :>)

Spellcheck sucks too!
Comment from royowen
Writing is merely thought printed on paper, some abstract, with which the brain usually works, somewhat in confused and random imagery, which we call, "streams of consciousness", another is mine, putting it down on paper to see if my spirit can glean some wisdom from it, occasionally it actually does, for the sake of my convincing myself there's some normality, I would classify myself as both introvert and extrovert anyway, if one can make a neutral stance. But I appreciated your thoughts, which is thinking in motion. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thanks, much appreciated. Its possible to be at both ends of the spectrum, I think. It could just be what frame of mind we're in.

I think so too.
Comment from Bonnie Seach
A very well written, skilfully crafted and "painted" picture of a writer. Nobody is 100% introvert, nor extrovert. We are mixtures of varying percentages of traits or characteristics. Being introvert does not rob one of speech, nor the ability to reason, as some might think. Ernest Hemingway (the correct spelling) Lost his inhibitions while inebriated, due to the influence of alcohol.
Writers are curious, innovative and often most eloquent. In my opinion, someone who listens first and then speaks is wisest at a gathering. I admire the thinkers. One usually finds at least one gem in their speech.
Thank you for sharing

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
Writing is something you do alone. It's a profession for introverts. You want a good story? So let them be! They sure are introverts. Writing is an art and a craft that needs to be developed through deliberate practise, undisturbed. I enjoyed your commentary and found it absorbing. Good luck in the contest!
