Ideas, everyone has a million of them floating through their heads every moment of the day. It only seems like we have none when we are in front of a piece of paper or a computer screen about to write a paper, its almost like they all have flown away from our heads. Luckily there are many ways of getting your ideas on your paper. These include; freewriting, looping, listing, clustering, cubing, questioning, outlining, letter writing, and discovery drafting.
I personally use the freewriting, listing, and outlining methods. In freewriting its as simple as it sounds, you write freely letting the ideas flow from your mind. In listing you simply list ideas and details on a piece of paper which you can refer back to as you write your paper. Finally, in outlining you can create an informal or formal outline of what you are going to write and how you are going to write your paper.
As i stated before there are many other ways of getting your ideas flowing. So, while you are writing your next paper play around with these methods because you never know what you could come up with.
