When my dad was a young photojournalist, he took a photo of Solzhenitsyn for some small time newspaper in washington state. He has the newspaper framed.
Growing up, my sister and I were always really creeped out by the picture. It was so old and faded, and it was inexplicably hung on a wall in the basement, it never moved for decades. We'd call him "tree man" because his face and hair blended into the background and it looked like his head was emerging from a tree trunk.
You should always have your arguments fully formed in your mind before you begin typing or writing them down.

I don't understand why you think I'm joking. I don't begin writing until I know what I'm going to write about. I order all of my arguments with more or less the same rules so there isn't much 'discovery' on the page, when I'm actually doing the physical writing. I always know how I'm going to write it. The discovery happens when I'm reading, day-dreaming/ruminating about what I've already read. The thinking is the creative part of the process, not the physical typing or writing.

I wish I could do this, but I tend to think in images and sensations. Wish I could be smarter. I always start writing then make the discoveries while in the middle of it.

My arguments are usually just natural language analogies about geometric descriptions of images, so that's not something I would have to worry about. Most of the time I'm reducing some image or set of images to a single dimension and then comparing them to other sets of images (when I say 'sets of images' I could they can also be ordered sets like an animated sequence).
The words of the argument is just a description of these images and what I am doing or can do to them. Even saying image is misleading because it might make you think I'm talking about something that is flat and unchanging (which it never is).
I don't really just hear or see text by itself, I see things which I know how to describe with text. The more I see, the more I can describe, thus, thinking in images should not be a limitation for you, only a source of inspiration.
I've learned (usually the hard way i.e. don't assume everyone thinks like you) that most people have trouble writing because they cannot picture things at all and have to write on faith, or appeal to authority or majority, i.e. "some expert /said/ this" or "most people /say/ that". Be grateful you have an imagination at all!

Yes it's called having a life outside of 4chan.

underrated post
Why are Westerner liberals so eager to suck his dick? Do they know he turned against democracy later in his life, supported Franco and later Putin?
