Why I'm Starting to Write

Writing isn't how you communicate what you think. It's how you find out what you think. Writing is thinking. I used to think the benefit of writing was clarifying existing ideas. But now I know it, more crucially, generates new ideas. Uncovers ideas you didn't know you had. If you don't write about something, you haven't thought about it deeply. Writing is a necessary condition for fully formed ideas.

I want to improve my understanding. Writing publicly is a good forcing function and motivator to write more. Here's the first one, I'll write again soon!
