“How do I know what I think till I see what I say.”

My thoughts always evolve as I write. Writing gives me a way of logically exploring ideas I have learned or read about. Whether it is writing an assigned paper or in a journal, writing helps me understand and explore my ideas and feelings. When I talk, I often just blurt out things I’ve heard or read without any real thought or logic about how I really feel about the subject. Writing is an important part of my learning process. It helps me explore subjects much more extensively than just reading or talking about it. Sometimes I start out sure of how I feel about a certain subject, and then as I write my thoughts and feelings begin to change.
