Just wondering if anyone else has done this before. Is it weird?

That is not weird at all! In fact, it can be quite helpful and even appreciated by them. Not that they don't want patients to talk, but I can say that my psychiatrist welcomed such things when I needed to communicate that way. I fully understand what you mean by sometimes being able to write more effectively than speak. I have written such letters (or long bullet lists, often) many times to hand to my psychiatrist. I have also written what I wanted to say in the form of poetry and read it out loud from my printout. Once I even sent him a card through the mail with a message about my sadness that he exchanged a certain painting in his office. It's all good, in my view. He never complained and never made me feel I was strange.
If anyone thinks that's weird, then you and I can be "weird" together
I think "weird" can sometimes be awesome! Didn't we discuss the word "weird" the other day?
