“I write,” Marcus tells us, “to discover what I want to say and how to say it.”
I used to say that some people don't know what they think until it comes out their mouths. Writing -- good writing -- is often an exercise in the writer thinking deeply about something in a meatier way than merely thinking about it without trying to articulate it.
Sometimes in some sense for the first time.
