I actually lost the ability to write after a small stroke. Comes out as nonsense. Can still type at 80wpm just fine.
Apparently different parts of the brain.
How interesting! Have you done any experiments to try to identify the “line” between the two skills? For example, can you write individual letters in isolation? Like a single letter “T” by itself?
And can you still draw shapes? (Like a circle? Which is basically an “O”.) If so can you draw a series of shapes? A circle, a square, and a triangle? Have you tried writing words with your non-dominant hand? It won’t look very nice but I wonder if the jumble impacts both sides or just the side that “knows” how to write?
I can write for about 10-30 seconds. Then characters turn to scribbles. If I’m insanely slow and careful I can last a minute or so. It has improved in the last few years.
I was a minor artist before. I could still draw mostly fine even at my worst.
Work stuff was weird. If A bug report came in I could find the root issue faster then most anyone. But I could no longer solve the problem. Even if was totally trivial.
Got by mostly by helping other people find out what was wrong with code.
Thankfully I’m getting close to my old ability to write code.
