I have to agree that writing is thinking. In fact, in my opinion it gets to the root of why humanity is what it is.
This lady is writing about writing. This is recursive. Humanity has the ability to think conceptually and recursively about things - this is thinking about thinking. This act opens the world to creativity in a way that is not possible for other creatures.
Eg we can think about a table as a concept - it brings to mind something like "Four legs, a flat solid top". As a concept though, we can take those bits out it and ask things like 'What would a table be with no legs?' or 'what would a table be without a solid top'.
This is how easy it is for us to play with concepts - thinking about thinking. And then write about it.
