... when the blank page excites you.
[Or terrifies you. :)]

...you proofread (and usually edit) every email and text you send!

Remember all the suggestions you all gave? Yes, it helps a little. But it's a pretty pathetic existence to feel like you need to stay glued to the computer with headphones and brown noise.
