Looks like a 'text producer' article. There's a lot of ideas mixed together into one long rant about writing. Even the headline itself isn't good. Surely, 'writing: a misunderstood activity' does the job better. But the article is not so much about style than it is about exploring ideas.

The author doesn't consider the other way people explore ideas: talking and engaging in discussions. The 'text producer' is this other kind of explorer of ideas. Yes it pays to organise your mind, but the exploration itself is important too.
