encouraging "unfinished" thoughts

Submitted by Ann Dixon on Fri, 09/21/2007 - 8:44am.

One thing about the forums that I may never get used to is that they really are meant to be a place where you can "think out loud:" some unfinished thoughts/ writing. I've seen comments that are just one-liners spark a whole discussion for other people. You never know what will be useful to other people's thinking. In my experience, though, I feel a lot of pressure to write something intelligent and "finished," and don't know how to encourage myself, much less others, to just write unfinished thoughts and not to worry so much about it being a finished product. If you have thoughts about this, I would be interested in hearing them.
