Comment on More people should write (2012)

Comments

I love writing. I have more than 1000 articles under my belt and eight books, all in the last 7 years.

Writing helps you discipline your thoughts. All too often, logical gaps or nuggets of ignorance in a seemingly watertight argument only turn up when you commit your thoughts to the paper. (Well, word processor.) And, vice versa, thinking without writing things down tends to be infected with sloppiness.

Write things, if only for yourself and your future self. You may also find out that you have a knack for it. In that case, godspeed.
