Have you ever stalled for time? I mean really dragged out the littlest things while you were desperately trying to come up with something good. Have you ever purposely led someone or some people on forever only until you were confident that you could properly come up with material that would make someone laugh or cry? Personally. I think dragging out material is desperate attempt, and if you ask me dragging out your essay, speech, presentation, performance what have you is something only people crunched for time or completely devoid of a topic that they couldn't creatively talk about. It would really be a bummer if nothing interesting happened in your life for about a week that you had little to talk about, write about, sing about, dance about, I mean you get the idea.
From what I've been told you attempt to hide your inability to creatively write about something by using language that beats around the bush, avoids specifically talking about something. You use your guile and wits to write many things about nothing. The circular language drives people to no conclusive ending leaving them grasping for more. In some way or another you tease people into looking at your further work because you have ability to talk but not give it all away in the first few sentences.
Good thing I have no Idea what that feels like.
