explanations

[redbird]

I've very good at being explained to: at figuring out what needs doing when the person explaining hasn't entirely untangled it yet, especially if there's related paperwork or an illustration of the desired results.

I'm not as good at explaining things, though I enjoy sharing information.

I suspect my facility at picking things up is part of why I'm not as good at explaining things myself: since I can get by with a partial or not entirely untangled explanation, I've had less need to create, or figure out what goes into, a really good one.

I can do it on paper. I can't always do it out loud, one-on-one. Being asked questions often helps.
