Writing from the Inside, Your Way, and Commonsense Matters

I love Tom Romano’s description of the writing process and “Now you don’t see it, now you do.” Murray similarly punctuates this by stating, “Writing is not thinking written down after the thinking is completed. Writing is thinking.” Rief also designates a paragraph subtitled “Writing is Thinking.” Thanks guys for explaining this. I know too many people who click those keys fast and the written words appear like magic. It makes me sick. When I write, frustration is overwhelming at first because my thoughts are racing and jumbled. Organizing ideas on paper appears impossible, but once I achieve complete quiet with no interruptions the words finally begin to flow. Often, eyes must close and focus is a concentrated effort, but eventually ideas form and the printed words come alive as they appear on the screen.
