“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.”
-- Isaac Asimov
Such thinking for me is really the only meaningful thought I have, the only thing that soothes my anxieties and nervous knots. Just as with math, which I also need to do on paper, because I just cannot hold that much in my easily over-strained brain, so it is with vast, unwieldy complexes of emotions and perceptions, I need the exercise of slowly breaking them down into somewhat carefully crafted sentences in order to get a handle on the chaos and the threatening insanity. The artfulness of it is a consolation in itself.
