Default Sounds like me trying to actively participate in replying and posting. I grok.

It is not a problem with keyboard layout as I can touch type although sometimes that does go astray

Does anyone have any coping tips or therapies they have found to improve their ability to compose messages?
sospan,

Only 18 mins. to type, compose, edit, re-word, edit, proof, edit, preview, edit/add, preview, and finally post? Wow. That's impressive in my experience! Wish I could manage this better as well in order to participate moreso in posting here, as I am so isolated socially otherwise IRL and I'm determined to change that, e.g. first by reaching out here to this online community. Some days all I can manage is to hit the thanks button. And that's okay. As you said it, " I am still finding it difficult to compose text and writing sentences. and takes an excruciating amount of time to compose what I am trying to get across.

I do always appreciate to read your posts.
And good luck to us both in sustaining our capabilities to participate here,

Best regards,
Theta
