Sure, writing helps with thinking, but the final written output is an educational product that ought to be built and tested around the needs of the reader, not the ego or indulgence of the writer.
(It's also worth noting that the article is built on personality-specific advice, and not everyone is wired or able to think via writing. I personally love it, but a whole lot of people will only receive useful insights and clarity by talking through new ideas and issues and not via of writing about them.)
- Ma8ee 6y agoI write in a journal most days. It helps me clarify my thoughts and feelings. It is rarely read even by me and, I hope, never by anyone else.

- cylinder714 6y ago[T]he final written output is an educational product that ought to be built and tested around the needs of the reader, not the ego or indulgence of the writer. Can you expand on this thought further? Who decides what the "needs of the reader" are, but readers themselves? And fiction isn't "an educational product."
