The Trap of Extracted Writing

https://gyazo.com/4032a0631ac160fbc1ee904c74ae94e0

Pitfalls when reading a book and doing extract or subtracting marker.

There is no pitfall when you output what you experience as language.

When you read a book and output it, input itself is already in the form of language.

Instead of inputting it and thinking about it and outputting it in your own mind, you simply work on cutting out parts of the input.

I feel like I'm doing something useful, but I'm actually acting without thinking.

I think it's cooler to have a sentence cut out of a book than a sentence spun out of my own thoughts, and I think that's a good thing.

I don't think hard, I just kind of marker off sentences that have a cool vibe with the words and feel like I've accomplished something.

inferior copy only.

If you don't train yourself spin a sentence, you'll always be nothing but a degraded copy of someone else's content.
