...All that being said, within the non-negotiable bounds of writing for myself, and speaking in my own authentic voice, there is lots of room to improve my writing. Structuring a post to be easier to digest isn’t just about writing for others, it is also a forcing function for structuring my own thoughts. In what order should I present this idea? What is essential, what is inessential, and what actually detracts from the essential idea? Questions like these work their way back to improving my own thinking about an idea, and that is part of why I write and what I gain from it. This is why I unapologetically revise my posts dozens of times when they hit HN or go viral on Twitter: The feedback offers a clue as to how well I’ve structured my thinking, and restructuring it helps me understand the subject better. Writing is rewriting. Without agreeing or disagreeing with any specific piece of advice in TFA, the general idea of applying some structure to writing to make it digestible nad to communicate your ideas clearly is valuable not just for the writing itself, but for your own thinking.
