What Writing is teaching me about imperfect rhythm?

Same pattern of thoughts doesn't define creativity of a person. Sometimes incomplete and different thoughts are better than complete and perfect ones. If I didn't find flow while writing, I simply took a pause and restarted five minutes later. I preferred rhythm in thoughts earlier, but it never allowed me to write imperfect ones.
Forcing the brain to think again and again would ruin the entire upcoming ideas. A pause would help to regenerate new and different notions. Repeating the same thing again and again may make the best better. While writing my learnings in the blog, I avoid writing a forced best and write liberal thoughts.
While writing yesterday's blog, I didn't prefer the incomplete thought to be a part of it. The thought was simple, which said to plant a new seed instead of weeping for a dead tree in reference to running out of thoughts. I found it something different and imperfect, so I didn't share it.
At night, while rereading my blog, the thought suddenly appeared to me. The calmness while reading changed to worry. Not much, but a bit, with curiosity. The thought was simple, but my thinking to see it as imperfect didn't let my hand write it. I tried to start rereading again, but the thought was not going from my brain.
Thinking about it gave me space to think about rhythm and imperfect ideas. I asked myself, does it necessary to match every thought? The answer was quick, no. If rhythm was necessary, then there would be no term like creativity.
At night, I decided that from now onwards I will not wait for any perfect thought or rhythm in my thoughts. I would simply write and publish. Perfect thoughts every time would destroy creativity.
