An independent democratic socialist observes LIFE in " OUR democracy ": Good Writing advice

An independent democratic socialist observes LIFE in " OUR democracy ": Good Writing advice: 25 Insights on Becoming a Better Writer Ron Ruggieri Well I like this bit of advice above all : write wha... Writing is Thinking [ " It’s simple. The amount of information our brains can fit into our short term memory at once isn’t a lot. If you never have thoughts that require notes, then all your thoughts are small or unoriginal enough to fit into your tiny short term memory. Writing allows you to record your short term memory into a format that you can examine and reflect upon, so you can suss out what makes sense, and how it makes sense, and then expand on the original seed. When you expand your thought all the way into a piece of coherent writing, it becomes complete. It would have been impossible for you to have that size of a thought without writing–your brain just isn’t powerful enough. If you’ve never written anything thoughtful, then you’ve never had any difficult, important, or interesting thoughts. That’s the secret: people who don’t write, are people who don’t think. "]
