It seems like a quantum effect of our consciousness, 'putting the ideas into words changed them'. It's a perpetual chase after wording, and when you reach the post, it's already far-off again. This thought sheds some insight not only only on semiology and systems of symbols in human language, but into what I've been learning writing poems, and why it's so much fun to do it, I think, because the goal of the expression is changed, or heightened, by the act of reaching or moving to it. So it's sometimes, or very often for certain comparisons, more involved than programming, in terms of working memory.
On the topic of essay writing, the book Writing Under Pressure: The Quick Writing Process is a 60's university professor gem and fully informed me as to how I approach writing (and reading) nonfiction, anything which has an argument, a thesis, points to make. It turns the random churn of paragraphs into a pragmatic scientific method.
