Better Writing Is Better Thinking

The more I've gotten into a writing habit, the more I struggle to determine if I've been able to build the identity of a writer.

What I've found out is that my main ambition with writing is to become a better thinker, and it just happens to be the case that writing is the best way to think clearly.

This quote captures it perfectly:

Notes aren’t a record of my thinking process. They are my thinking process. – Richard Feynman

What I've noticed before I started writing often is that sometimes I think I have a clear idea in my head, but once I try to write it, I realize that I haven't thought as deeply about it as I thought I did.

Better writing is better thinking.
