Learn to write

Writing is formalized thinking and so the way you write is first you need a problem

because why write if you don't have a problem so this good advice if you're just writing an essay by the way for your classes this like pick a bloody problem that you want to write about because otherwise it's false write from the start .

It's uo to you to engage with the material until you find something that grips you that you desire to investigate so you need a problem.well the next thing you need to do is you need to have something to say about the problem also reading.Reading is really good for that addresses the problem.So now you know a bunch of things or at least provisionally know them

you at least have access to them.

Now you start you start sorting through

It's like okay well maybe I need to summarize what I've learned and then I need to iron out the contradictions between what I 've learned and I need to elegantly fotmulate that and I need to get my word chocie right and my phrase choice right and my sentence choice right and I need to organize the sentences into proper paragraphs and the

paragraphs into proper sequence so that I have a coherent argument and at the

same time what you're doing is you're integrating your own personality at the highest and most abstract level of organization.You are sharpening your tools and you're putting yourself straight

because you're learning to think.You learn to do that by writing.So I would say pick some hard problems and learn to write very very carefully.When I say pay attention to the word.I mean that pick the right words organize them into the right phrases and get your sentences straight like when I wrote my first book Maps of Meaning.I believe I wrote every sentence in that book 50 times 50 variants of every sentence. I have a little competition which sentence is better .I pick that sentence and do the same with the paragraphs over many many years you hone your words.They're the most powerful thing about you bar none if you're an effective writer and speaker and communicator. You have all the authority and that there is .

Read and write every day a couple of hours every day .Write about the things you find important and see if you can discover what you believe to be true and that'll build you a foundation and it's unbelivably pratical

To find your true voice and every time you deviate from that for expedient reasons

you corrupt yourself and not in a trival way because when you formulate your arguments that becomes a permanent part of your character .It becomes part of the structure through which you view the world and that guides your actions
