I’ve recently started writing and am having a blast. It’s like there are all these thoughts that usually pass straight through my mind and into the ether. Maybe they were stupid thoughts. Usually they’re stupid thoughts. Just by catching them and expanding on them, though, I’m learning so much about the things I find interesting and also myself.
Also, the paragraph beginning: “Occasionally, I’ve sat down to write...” is duplicated.
Yeah, a lot of the thoughts we have aren’t useful or good, but without writing you don’t have any way to inspect them. I remember CGP Grey (youtuber/podcaster) said that writing down his thoughts showed him just how much his brain re-visited the same silly ideas.
We don’t have as much introspective power as we think we do.

Thanks for the heads-up. It’s fixed.

Good luck on your writing journey.
