When writing you have to actual flesh out the details and figure out what to include and what to omit. It is so easy to skip that in day dreaming.

Thinking is like drawing a bridge on paper. Writing is to actual construct the bridge and test it.

What looks like the strongest bridge (built of paper) is not always the strongest one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtMx7FZUC6A
