Sure, but how about you intertwine the process of creating things and writing about them?
I don't remember the exact reference but I remember reading an article by someone who uses something like a Zettelkasten to write down his thoughts and insights in small digestable pieces and then creates an outline for an article / a book once a pattern of thought emerges and he feels ready.
I really liked this approach as you don't need to filter yourself in your daily writing practice – no one will read your notes, so it's okay if they're not perfect or relevant to millions of people or whatever.
EDIT: Found the reference! It wasn't Zettelkasten but Evergreen note-taking (though the author does reference Zettelkasten):
