self-realization

[truepenny]

I don't talk about what I do. I talk about what I think.

Same here. I suspect on my part it might be due to a (probably unhealthy) notion that what I do is utterly irrelevant.

and that's what makes you so interesting!
(most people don't have thoughts that they actually...y'know...can...articulate...)

I do some of both, and sometimes I talk about what I know, especially what I've just learned (which can be as trivial as the observation that there is an apothecary's measure called the liquid scruple).

*blink* There are people who don't?

There are people--matociquala, buymeaclue, and ursulav, for three examples--who can write about what they do and make it fascinating, hilarious, and/or thought-provoking.

I sometimes talk about what I do, but only if I have thoughts about it.

My LJ policy is to post wordcount, random poetry, and if I have something to say about something. So I won't post "Had a bath" but I might post "Have you ever wondered where the bubbles go in the bath when you get in?"

Actually, that sounds good. Because, perhaps, when you divulge what's going on vis-á-vis your writing, those things might not happen in the real event, so nothing's spoiled, not even the tiniest tidbit!

Dammit, that's not supportive at all, that's just a reader's selfish viewpoint...
