As a writer, I typically formulate thoughts quickly, get them down on paper, and run with them. That works well for me; my “production” is pretty steady and what winds up in front of readers is generally well-received.
For some thoughts, though, I need more information, a better point of reference, or just to wrap my head more fully around the idea. Occasionally, I just need time to talk myself out of what I’m thinking.
I’ve spent the last several days trying to talk myself out of what I’m about to say, but for as much as I want to, I can’t find any real flaw in the basic premise of my thinking.
