    It is interesting how people think that they know exactly what they’re going to write before they even start. Of course, most professional writers will tell you otherwise. You have to put the words on paper to see how they fit and to see if you’re happy with them.

      absolutely. sometimes things as simple as a one-to-one DM or email requires me to actually start writing first, to get my thoughts “on paper” first, in order to actually see through the word salad that my thought soup cooked up, and then sorting through the mess to get a coherent sentence or two in the final version that i actually send.
