So, I was thinking a little in class this week about how writers actually think; I mean, you here famous authors quoted all of the time, how did they know that what they wrote or said was famous? I think that the way writers think is by not thinking. If they really are interested in something, then they should have no problems rambling on about it for hours. After rambling, they revise by looking at it through your average Joe's, or their audience's, eyes. They keep what is insightful and get rid of anything that doesn't make sense or puts their audience to sleep.
Even though I am sort of a writer, I will admit that I find it hard to approach writing in such a disorganized manner as this, and I think my writing suffers. I know that, at least for this course, one of my biggest problems is sitting down (Or standing up, sometimes) and start the writing process. Once I start, it is just a matter of time before I manage to write something, even though it often is very good.
Well, that's my thoughts for the evening, it's about time to shut down the noggin and get ready for PT tomorrow.
Drag like White Lightning and keep your covers out of the microwave,

I don't think it necessarily deos hurt your writing to be a more organized writer: it's just a different way to write. In fact, its not unlike the way I write.
You can see my post for my thoughts on the essay and how I write if that encourages you any.
