Now you’re being remarkably reductive—-about the human language facility. We don’t ”go one word at a time.” (Simple example: “hey, look at that tig boad! Uh… ha! Tig boad, I meant big toad.” Stupid example but the point is that the cognitive psychology of language is much more complex that you’re making out.) Also, what are these “thoughts” you have when writing and what’s a “complete” vs. “semi-complete” one? Stupid question, yes, but you again vastly over-trivialize the real dynamic interplay between figuring out what word(s) to write and figuring out what precisely you’re actually trying to say at all. Writing really is another form of thinking for us.
