When I write a novel, my development work is all by hand, as it helped me distill my thoughts. It cuts through the false abundance you mentioned that would fill my typed brainstorm files with pages of unusual 80wpm garbage.
Hmm—I agree & sometimes speculate that Probably I’d be far better off (as would a pretty significant # of humans) if my expressions of thought and communications were only in written form. I just don’t filter efficiently verbally. Everyone who knows me at all knows this.
But, writing allows more deliberate pondering, editing, deleting…yeah. I have to agree that putting ALL thoughts, mine at least, into any form of concrete, accessible, recorded medium is a very bad idea indeed.
I totally see what you are saying. Very wise ponderings.
And yet I will 1000% try it. For me, at least for journaling, my goal is to capture as much as possible. My favorite thing is reliving and helping others relive. It has brought me and others close to me joy, but the thing that stops me today is the sheer magnitude if the task in front of me.
So if only for journaling, and until we can relive moments as if on television, VR, and literally re-experience them, I’ll accept this evolution
well said, or should i say well thought out....

Agreed: mindful writing is discovery.
