In speech, you’re pressed to keep pace with the conversation and exercise a certain level of mental agility that while sometimes advantageous, keeps you from thinking deeply and formulating the most appropriate response.
Writing forces you to slow down. It forces you to be deliberate.
When you sit down to write, you have all the time in the world to find the best words and the best combination of those words to express yourself most clearly.
It’s for this reason that writing should improve your ability to speak.
As you take the time to improve your ability to express yourself with the high levels of accuracy and precision, you’ll find that you will also be much better able to speak on the fly. I think the reason for this is that when you deliberately practice putting together words in an effective manner, you simply learn (via experience) the best communication patterns. Those patterns become instinctual.
Communication is a type of force in that it can cause things to happen. The more precise your communication, the closer your eventual reality will resemble what you’re trying to accomplish in your mind. Writing allows you to continuously refine and polish your message, choosing the words with the most impact to use at the right times. There is no substitute for this practice. |
