What Writing is teaching me about the gap between thinking and writing?

Thinking feels effortless. Writing proves it isn’t. I can’t match the speed of my thoughts, but writing slows them down. But when one remains fast, it creates a wide gap with writing.

I think much more about my experiences, learnings, opinions, perspectives, and stories, but when I don't write them, a gap within me appears. A space between my thoughts and expressions forces me to make mistakes. To avoid those mistakes, I write down all my thoughts and try to bridge the gap.

Whenever I feel something amazing while writing a blog or searching for my flaws in my former blogs, I do write my experience now. Before, I used to avoid them and think about them the other day. The other day's expression didn't pull out the exact emotions felt at that time, which widened the gap.

Everything feels easy before doing, as I mentioned in previous blogs about my experience with it. The skill which I thought was easy before is complicated in reality, i.e., writing. I realised it on the very first day when this journey of expressing without hesitation started.

I was thinking what to write, how to write. I wrote many complex, unstructured thoughts. But when they were expressed, I felt like a thread got unwound. Writing them down exposed confusion which thinking was hiding from me.

The incident gave me my first teaching in writing blogs. I learned about the gap between imaginary thoughts and real understanding. The day imagination takes over reality, thinking and expressing start to contrast more and more. The more I write every thought I think, the narrower the gap becomes.

Writing is where thinking finally becomes clear.

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear. I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth? Why d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity. Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing. Daily writing play...
