I'm so glad I'm not the only one this happens to. My posts always seem to be out of sequence to what is being discussed when my post actually shows up. Then I feel like I'm off topic because things have veered around the curve and gone down another street. When I'm working on a post, even a short one, life seems to interrupt constantly, along with my thoughts jumping around, so that I'm thrown totally off balance and it takes much longer than I originally anticipated. I also try to read what I've written before I click submit to check for typing errors and the tone I'm using. I don't want to appear any "stupider" or confrontational than I am or intend to be, just for speed's sake. I'm often unsuccessful but I still try.
