yes!

typing is not writing

for me at least 90% of the "writing" happens away from a keyboard

mainly in my head (on walks, in the shower, when I least expect it)

then on paper & pencil, writing words, phrases, drawing lines, rinse, repeat

my goal is to finish the conceptual thinking to a degree that when I sit down in front of a keyboard, it's mainly "downloading" from my brain

If I try to do the conceptual work at a keyboard it's torture



Interesting. When I'm on a walk or in the shower, I try to avoid thinking about anything complicated, preferring to wait till I'm in front of a keyboard.
