When you write you complete your ideas. If you don’t write at all you don’t even realize you have incomplete ideas. You have an illusion that all of your ideas are complete. – Paul Graham from [Putting Ideas into words by Paul Graham ](https://www.pawel.world/Putting-Ideas-into-words-by-e6f922bf1be346cc8fefeeb9febaf9b0) Writers recognize in much higher resolution that there is a difference in how they think about certain subjects before and after writing. Non-writers don’t even realize this delta exists
If you're thinking without writing, you only think you're thinking. – via Paul Graham and [Writes and writes-not by Paul Graham ](https://www.pawel.world/Writes-and-writes-not-by-1427d72d0640805fb746d59c21196c59)

Write like you'r a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there's no chance for a pardon. Write like you're clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you've got just one last thing to say, like you're a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God's sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so w can wipe our brow and know that we're not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don't. Who knows, maybe you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to. – Allan Watts
