It's like if you say a word over and over and over again and all of a sudden it just kind of loses meaning. In those situations, the best thing to do is to put it away for a little while. Maybe work on something else. Or, at the very least, keep going and stop re-reading. The more distance you can put between yourself and the part that's gone all awkward, the better. Then re-visit it later and see what you think then. I also highly recommend reading it aloud to yourself later on -- that can help you pinpoint bits of awkwardness. That’s pretty common, actually.

(i'll never know till i try, eh?) What can i say? i have such a bad memory... well and i was running/walking up and down stairs and ramps for soccer conditioning for and hour and a half earlier.... blegh. i'm worn out. i just realized that question was almost exactly like the one i asked (yesterday, was it?)….. i dont know if you can answer it any better than you did before (by the way, thanks.). if you want to answer it again (or add something to it…), you can, but it’s not necessary. i think outlining might solve my problem.

That's the only word i can think of to explain it. Have you had this problem?? And if so, how did you 'fix' it? i'm not even sure you'll understand my question, but it's worth a try i have a question =) (of course)
