Comment: Darwin reminds us that fluency often comes from flow, not control. Letting thoughts emerge unfiltered can reveal sharper insight than careful planning.There seems to be a sort of fatality in my mind leading me to put at first my statement or proposition in a wrong or awkward form.
Formerly I used to think about my sentences before writing them down; but for several years I have found that it saves time to scribble in a vile hand whole pages as quickly as I possibly can, contracting half the words; and then correct deliberately.
Sentences thus scribbled down are often better ones than I could have written deliberately.
