It’s possible that other people will work out what you mean.

When you use convoluted descriptions that entertain all the detail and nuance in your mind. When you use the language you have in your head, and take the short cuts that are easiest for you rather than the long cuts that are easy to follow. It’s possible they’ll fill in the blanks and realise what you haven’t helped them realise, see what you didn’t point out, understand what you barely grasp yourself.

Maybe.

When it works when it works badly, you forget about what it’s like seeing things for the first time, you run at the speed of your own thought, you think your backstory is shared.

The way it should work is, you break things down based on the knowledge and interest of your audience.

Skippy strategy: Put your audience at the centre of your mind, not you.
