I have learned a lot about my writing process over the past few months. I know that when I am creating a paper a lot of ideas come to mind. If I do not write these ideas down, sometimes they aren't conveyed in my paper. Techniques like brainstorming and clustering really help me properly form my paper. It is a mechanism that allows me to put my thoughts on paper and go back to them for support during the process. Once my topic has been chosen, I write down a list of all the points that I would like to cover. During the final cut some of the points I wanted to make in the beginning are sometimes combined with other points and sometimes omitted all together. Also if I develop writer's block, I am able to go back to this list and expand upon or add new thoughts. Brainstorming and clustering help me through all parts of writing, beginning, middle, and end.

Great post. I love the fact there are so many different writing styles out there that we can use. I do agree with you. Brainstorming is a great way to go back and review what it is you want to talk about. I always keep my ideas till my paper is done.
