You are so correct about how the process of writing gives you new ideas. I began writing a physics book I originally estimated would only be around 300 pages. 3 years later I am still writing that same book, which blown out to be 1,500 pages and 700,000 words-and I am still only 2/3 done! The more I wrote, the more the answers to the open problems in physics came to me. What started as me writing a small book about a specific problem has turned out to be what I genuinely believe to be the ultimate theory of everything. I know that at that length I may have destroyed any chance to find a publisher, but these days we have the luxury of being able to self-publish. I guess if my work is what I think it is, its importance will transcend the "too big to publish" problem. The irony is that I am not even a physicist.
This is a very useful video. I wish I had watched it in the early stages of my phd. But as i cannot change the past, I guess "mejor ahora que nunca" is my go-to mantra together with applying this advide. Thank you for your content
Good points Karen. When I'm working on the ideas for a video, I've seen the benefits of writing to improve clarity with thinking. Once I've got a coherent script that makes sense, adding the visuals comes much easier.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Is very useful, I'm studying my PhD and I'm learning from every video in your channel. Greetings from México.
