First written work:  Diagnosis.

WRITING AND THINKING

Writing and thinking are two processes to create knowledge. They are very difficult to handle and closely related.  These processes are as close that without one it is frankly impossible to talk about the other's existance.

Just talkng about writing, we can say that this is a way people can express their ideas or their mindsets.  Therein lies one of the tough questions to answer: Why is it so difficult for many of us to put in written what we think?  The answers are so complex as diverse.   Perhaps thinking is faster than writing ,  maybe due to the organization process of our ideas that  we have to develop, or maybe because when we we write we are thinking at the same time about the people who are going to read us, and we get concentrated so much on wrinting in a way righ-enough to be worth of being read by someone else.

On the other hand, we have thinking what seems to be an easier process for most people, but it is not always that way.  Very often it happens that while trying to come up with a good idea to beging a written project or an oral presentation-- I have heard some of my peers say:  "I cannot think in anything good enough", "my mind is blank", or "I'm blocked".

In what to me concern, I believe that given the fact that writing and think are closely bond, there is no way we can conceive them isolated; rather, we ought to assume and treat them as a whole what will ultimately allow us to express our ideas or thoughts in a neater way.
