Writing as thinking

I don't write to communicate what I already know. I write to discover what I think.

The act of putting words on a page forces you to clarify fuzzy thoughts. It reveals gaps in your logic, assumptions you hadn't examined, and connections you hadn't noticed.

This is why on-simplicity resonates so much—the process of simplifying your writing is the process of simplifying your thinking.

Writing isn't just a medium for sharing ideas. It's a tool for generating them.
