Writing

For me writing used to be a simple task, as I used to write the words that just came into my mind because of the patterns that I learned, without giving much thought, that is how I learned to write, without actually understanding what individual words really come from and mean. Using popular phrases in our daily life is one of the methods from which we change and modify our writing, rest comes from our inner world of thoughts.
But nowadays, after growing my self, sometimes every word requires thinking which needs to be at the right place, correctly felt while writing. Although I often wonder the true quality of it of a person lies in not what he writes, but simultaneously what he writes and what is thinks while writing it. We assign meaning to the words on our own according to our own perception that we have learnt. And for the soul it must feel satisfying to write something that you mean to. Words are sometimes impactful when they affect someone deeply, but sometimes carry no weight when they are just ignored by someone on the surface.
While growing up I used to think, how come writing is an job. Its something you could while sitting. Well, I was right then, and I’m right now, as nowadays the job itself is analyzing the information in our brains and do the desired act through mainly our hands. With an trained mind, the flow of thought, much like ChatGPT’s language model, one may write freely as the next words come, and without any errors, a perfectly trained mind would finish such task hopefully without any flaws. However, humans, grown through process of trial and error, and often would require corrections to typos and spellings, and even more corrections when something is mistyped and requires corrections. For some reason, we have worked out and exist at this time in this space and everything seems to be okay with errors as we do not require the idealistic imaginative thought perfection if it comes at a cost.
However, writing blindly is not that helpful and is often confusion. I wasn’t able to write almost anything, and used to feel dumb when I couldn’t imagine the think I was and should be able to write. Having the dreamy imagination or a form of thinking while writing greatly progresses the thought to writinig process. Its as if the states of the thought are translated to writing protocol using translation of concept or ideas to words, and then words to its spellings, and then spellings to neural signals to the hand finger muscles in the precise pattern at precise intensity for the desired motion to take place, while we simulataneously also adapt to the control we must, the fingers.
Awareness of consciousness of our minds and how things relate is useful when understanding how these systems work, how we work, and it greatly reduces gaps between known decade old information and practices that we must adhere with vs to that were thought by ourselves by knowing the workings of us as our thinking is could be much faster way to learn when is done properly in true manner. When one builds everything by itself in its own mind, the things which appear very difficult are somtimes just one step away for the brain on this incremental build up of thoughts. It is more like our thinking would provide a natural way to reach the goal than to laboriously understand the previously wrote text. Although, sometimes if not carefull, one may miss important parts, so its is a good idea to cross-check your thinking and knowledge with existing known true knowledge to validate ourselves. Although, in some scenarios there could be doubts on an established theory, where barrier to accept the theory must be improved and refined.
Last but not least, not just we write in words, but in objects, in space, in time (in our minds as the imagination exists and (perhaps) extends beyond this 3dimensional space). We write in the synaptic weights through the neurons in our brain, and on our silicon digital devices on computers with electrons in tiny little trapped silicon rooms. Our control is as far as we can manipulate things and affect things. It may, however, be taken as an expanded definition of ‘writing’. We write in position of objects when we move things, changing the memory of this matter in this universe, residing in a conscious that we experience as perception.
