Is writing the same as talking?

I started taking this online class to help me with my journaling on my scrapbook pages and I am enjoying it so far. But I got to thinking, is writing the same as talking? I love to chat with friends & family for a long time and I enjoy writing so much too.

I decided to take this writing class b/c it sounded fun. Yup, I'm probably a nut job but hey, at least I'm doing something I like right? I remembered how much I enjoyed English writing class in high school & that I missed it as well as the writing I had to do in college. It was a lot sometimes and coming up with a topic for a paper, no matter how long it had to be, was sometimes a challenge. But one I was usually up for. Well this class has me doing some of the same things and I LOVE it!

Each day we get a topic and have to think about it for 1 minute and then write nonstop for at least 4 minutes. Would you believe that I have gone over my 4 minutes each time so far? Ok, it probably isn't hard to do with the way I like to talk (I'm sure most of you would agree haha) and write. I'm having FUN!!!

I think I'm way too tired to be posting on here and actually making sense so have a good laugh at my tired expense and perhaps I'll be able to compose something a little less wordy & writing in circles tomorrow. Lots to do though so might not get to post till late again & then it would just be goofy again.
Good night all!
