I find I think better when I'm typing, so sometimes I just make an entry and save it as a draft and never post it. There's something about the idea of having to articulate it so someone else can understand that forces me to dig into it more?

I do this when I'm stuck on a chapter or something, and I brainstorm out a bunch of stuff. But it's usually difficult for me to make the leap from the micro of the specific scene or problem to any kind of macro idea about writing in general.
