[!summary]The author’s writing process involves a messy cycle of taking notes, drafting, and redrafting to create coherent work. They use a Zettelkasten system to organize ideas and support their writing, though they often find it challenging to know when to stop taking notes and start drafting. Ultimately, writing is about experimenting and embracing the imperfections of the process.

It’s tempting to make light of the amount of work the drafting and redrafting takes, but for me it remains a substantial part of the writing process. The Zettelkasten offers a massive head start though, because it means I always have material to work with and because it’s a workshop in which to play with the structure and order of my ideas. It also allows me to continuously develop my unfinished thoughts.

At the end of the day, my writing process isn’t just about jotting down thoughts—it’s about playing with them, reworking them, and eventually, after plenty of trial and error, shaping them into something worth reading.

My Zettelkasten system helps keep the whole chaotic process from completely derailing, but the real magic (or struggle, depending on the day) happens in the drafts.
