RE: Learning to Write Without Overthinking

I'm not sure that Luffy is the best example to follow, but I get the idea :-D I'm still catching up on the manga, I had forgotten about it for a while. I'm still in the Egghead-Arc.
My problem with reading too much is that my head gets full of thoughts, and I can't find a clear structure of arguments. That is really annoying. If I just write it when it comes to mind, and read other articles afterwards, it's easier. So, I try to first write my article, and then get to reading and curating.
Reading is more difficult for me than writing. I try to read as much as I can, and adding Keychain to my phone helped. But it's still hard to really follow up on all the content created of people I like. It's usually just going down the "following" for a few minutes, and whoever is in there has a good chance to be read, if it captures me.
The purpose I see in writing is development of thoughts, structuring my mind. And channeling stress, anxiety and so many other emotions that don't do me any good if I don't find an art to express them in. Writing is my favorite, though music comes quite close.
I've been binge watching One Piece to understand it and honestly, I need to be more like Luffy, a little more carefree and brave. Although, my favorite character in the series is Zoro, a bit skeptical, ambitious and doesn't like taking the shortcut.
Honestly, writing to me is like speaking out what I needed to say more coherently because if I were to speak relying only on what I know and directly, it will be jumbled as I see things to be more interconnected that others might not see it. So, before I talk about it, I tend to write it first 😄
Zoro couldn't take a shortcut even if he wanted to, he always gets lost instantly 🤣 he's a great character indeed.
Writing does help a lot putting thoughts in order ane hence the verbal argumentation. That's a good point!
