This feels different than learning how to write a first draft in 5th grade.

This is how to create sparks of thinking, that you can then carve/mold into insights about the world or your own phenomenology. It's “forming the constellation from amongst the stars”, instead of “writing the first page”. It then requires life integration and testing instead of proof-reading. You may need to go down some rabbit holes with research (and some may need family/friends to pull you out from), but never have to worry about formatting MLA-style citations again.

I prefer THIS way of thinking/writing that has arrived.

How do you go deep?
