Dear Khosro , Your sentence is almost perfect :) the only mistake is using the definite article"The" at the beginning of your sentence. "The" is used to to restrict the meaning of a noun to make it refer to something that is known by both the speaker or writer and the listener or reader, or something specific and there is nothing specific about the noun "words" so you don't need it at the beginning of your sentence. So your sentence would look like this: "Words want to run away from your mind, chain them by writing". Or a possible other solution could be :" Words tend to escape from memory, chain them by writing". Regarding your question structure, "In case of yes, are there the better forms?" U think that correct structure should go like this: " If the sentence is ok, are there any better forms of it? and also :) your statement in () should go like this: "Maybe my question needs correction also!" I hope I helped you out here , for more questions look me up :). Cheers!

The sentence makes sense. However, the punctuation needs correction. You can say, "The words want to run away from your mind. Chain them by writing." You have two complete thoughts, so a comma would not work in this case. If you want to keep the comma, you can also say, "The words want to run away from your mind, so chain them by writing."
