Don't Break the Flow for Fear of Imperfection

I'm not a writer. I don't have formal training in writing, and English isn't even my native language. But I have thoughts, ideas, and reflections that I want to share. Having a dedicated place to write helps me capture these thoughts before they slip away.

The Feeling of Incompleteness

One thing that has always held me back is the sense of incompleteness. The feeling that I can't communicate what I really mean. Part of it is the language barrier. English is not my native language, and sometimes the right words don't come easily. Part of it is the struggle to organize ideas well, to structure sentences and paragraphs in a way that flows naturally.

These are skills I want to improve, but I want to develop them over time, in a pleasant way, as a constant habit driven by curiosity. At the same time, I don't want grammar and structure to stop me from writing and sharing my thoughts right now. This is one of the use cases where Cursor can help a lot. Having it as an assistant that takes care of grammar and where to place my ideas and thoughts. Later, I give feedback to Cursor once it has organized and written things correctly, adjusting the rules in this repo as I go and reviewing specific pieces like I'm doing right now.

We all have ideas and thoughts that come from our experience, curiosity, imagination, and creativity. The challenge isn't having ideas. It's capturing them before they slip away and organizing them in a way that others can understand.

Capturing the Moment of Flow

Inspiration is fleeting. Once you have a thought, it can disappear in an instant. You don't always get it back.

And if you've ever experienced it, you know how pleasant the sense of flow is. That immersion you feel when you don't take your hands off the keyboard, whether you're writing or coding. That state where ideas pour out faster than you can organize them.

For now, I'm letting Cursor help me bridge that gap. I capture my thoughts immediately, as they come, without stopping to worry about grammar, punctuation, or whether I'm making the right connections to past ideas. Cursor helps organize them, translate them into clear English, and integrate them into the right place.

I believe this is a good approach for improving the foundational skills of organizing thoughts and writing clearly. It's true that AI models have limits, and I'll address that problem later, once I've reached those limits myself. Over time, I'll delegate less and less.

But right now, I just want to put my thoughts on paper and enjoy the feeling of writing without getting stuck on the mechanics.

The proof will be in the results: how many people visit this blog, how many find my thoughts and reflections interesting. That feedback loop will tell me if this approach works.
