> I don’t think this is particularly useful as it does not let you to fully form an idea in your head. Granted, it forces you to spew out your mind but in that case I would prefer to have a voice recorder with good speech to text algorithm.
Hi, I really wonder sometimes what to type but I think that it's fine to just have a stream of consciousness flow through. But the purpose of writing is to have someone read something later. And it so happens that a stream of consciousness is not at all interesting to read. I think that the key to good writing will be writing with a structure in mind. And there are two ways to do this. First you can do this using a planning phase that sets out everything you want to say. If you use this approach then the seams of your plan will be evident in the structure of your prose. The second way you can use structure is to keep writing streams of consciousness, keep telling stories from the top of the head, and then continue to improve as you do it. In a sense this comes down to the old way of practicing sports. The two ways are to practice as a slow speed and then focus on skill and practice speeding up. The other way is to keep playing at full speed and practicing getting better at such a speed. Neat!
