It's hypergraphia. In your case, we're lucky there's no cure. Keep on afflicting us.

I can’t remember who said this, but I read it in a newspaper article while I was a 5th grade teacher struggling to find a good way to teach writing to children. The quote was, “writing is easy, you just stare at the paper until your forehead bleeds.” Writing is the hardest subject to teach, and I don’t think I ever came up with one best way. But, I think the act of writing forces you to organize your thoughts, and that is the reason I think it’s possibly the most important thing to teach even though 99% of children won’t become writers. Reading good writing is such a pleasure, but producing good writing is difficult. I enjoy your writing!
