Is it better for me to edit my writing, after an extended stream of consciousness, to the proper way in which we are expected to write or should I let mistakes reveal my real thought process, explaining holes in logic with lucky filler that is exciting and unique?
To me, writing is not what I say correctly but is the result I get when I read my own thoughts in my own writing style. What I say uniquely has never been said before by me. What I write has never been said by anybody else – that I’ve heard anyways. Thoughts are the response to what I’ve heard. What I think is not logical until I write it down. Writing is the result of luck. Logic has nothing to do with luck unless we discover something new. The only way to write something new is if you’ve never heard it before. To write something unique is to say something unique.
Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of readers understand the difference between logic and luck. Only point-zero-nine percent connect with logic while point-zero-one percent respond to luck. Everybody else is crazy.
I could go back and check the logic of what I said here but I consider myself lucky to be a part of the point-zero-one percent.
I have already edited the shit out of this post.
