proof your hand thinks faster than your mind can keep up.
means To write or draw hastily and carelessly, producing marks that may barely be legible.
from From the medieval Latin 'scribillare,' a playful diminutive of Latin 'scribere,' 'to write' — so at its root a scribble is literally a 'little writing,' writing made small and quick. 'Scribere' is the same ancestor that gave us scribe, script, and describe; scribble is its scruffy, impatient relative.
