The need to Write!

 The need to Write!

By Paul Graham @Paul Graham Blogs


Writing is not just a way to convey ideas

But also a way to have them!


There is a way of thinking that can only be done by writing.

If you don't need to go deeply into a problem,

You can solve it without writing


But if you need to solve a complicated , ill-defined problem

It will almost always help to write about it!

Which means that someone who's not good at writing -

Will be almost at a disadvantage to solve such problems.


You cant think well without writing well

You can't write well without reading well

People who want just information may find other ways to get it

But people who want to have ideas-can't afford -

Not to write well and read well!
