Maybe there's something about putting pen to paper that helps your language abilities come back online. Pen and paper feels more analytical, like sitting down as a student to write an assignment, so perhaps it brings that analytical hemisphere of the brain back up to par?

I think what BayBrony said about it being linked to shame sounds right on the money too. It could be both of those things, no reason it has to be one or the other.
Thanks for this!
