The creation of words can have two origins. One is the experiences of
the past, one's learned judgements, one's learned way to create new
ideas. The other origin is when one is at an utter loss-totally
unprepared, as though the only resource is the current world unfolding.
It is the relationship between these two sources- the experienced and
the spontaneous flounderer, that matters in the real time
writing/speaking. If your writing is genuine, you allow a "dance" to
occur between these two origins or modes of writing. This is a skill
that should be taught in schools.
