Writing puts thoughts to paper. Muffled thoughts don't make good sentences. A collection of sentences makes a paragraph. Therefore, muffled thoughts can't make a paragraph.
Where am I going with the above: By writing, we find out if our thoughts are muffled or not. This means that writing is like a mirror to our thoughts.
Now there is a difference between writing for personal use and writing for the public. I think everyone should write for personal use. Examples of writing for personal use are
1. Journalling.
2. Self Reflection.
3. Project analysis.
When it comes to writing for public consumption, it's a different thing all together. You would want to have a topic or interest area you want to write about. It also takes much more time than you can imagine.
I started writing recently for the public and the process has been rewarding. I have learnt alot about myself.

- zikzak 6y agoDid you mean "muddled" or was "muffled" intentional? I agree with your premise, regardless.
- maverickJ 6y agoMuddled.
- nicbou 6y agoMuffled made sense too. Writing for yourself allows you to write down thoughts that might not be suitable for others (unless you are Charles Bukowski). Writing about your negative emotions feels very therapeutic. Older journals are a delightful read. It's fun to remember the things that made you tick back then, whether it was a short-lived obsession with old maps or lust for a girl that - let's face it - really wasn't that special.
