>I've long considered writing to be the "last step in thinking". I can't tell you how many times an idea, that was crystal clear in my mind, fell apart the moment I started writing and I realize there were major contradictions I needed to resolve. Likewise I also have numerous times where writing about something loosely and casually revealed to me something that fundamentally changed how I viewed a topic and really consolidated my thinking.
I read somewhere that Thinking, Writing and Speaking engage different parts of your brain. Whatever the mechanism, I often resolve issues midway while writing a report on them.
