How people in science see eachother

Great fun!

Trying to write well

Why is it that the more I spell things out, the more lost I feel? I'm unearthing tacit knowledge and it's a difficult process.I know what I mean, why don't others see it? I guess that's the skill of writing well.

The hardest thing is translating the gut feelings I get when I read books and articles, into something intelligible for my thesis. I read things all over the place (mostly to do with Heidegger nowadays) and frequently get a kind of twinge that signals 'hmm, I could use this, it adds an extra certain something'. However, how can I capture that in words? I move away from the page I'm reading and the feeling's gone.
