> Slow thinkers, how do you compensate for your lack of quick-wittedness?

1) It may be that you aren't a slow thinker but a bad translator.

2) I prepare 70% of a conversation in my head (I may never use it).

3) My first drafts are awful. Second and third can be worse. The 30% is the bit I'm less likely to ruin on delivery.

4) I used early social media to learn to trim multiple paragraphs down to sentence. I'm still learning it.

5) I'm a slow learn. This took years.
