Question
February 20, 2005
Hello,
I think I have found another really useful mind map tool to be added
to your http://www.school-for-champions.com/writing/graphicaloutlines.htm#References page, "Software used for graphical outlining" section.
I've found Mind Pad (www.mind-pad.com), it is suggesting a new approach to mind mapping, called "object-oriented mind mapping", this program lets create objects with any property set.
Hope it was useful!

Answer
The most important thing is define what you are writing about. What do you want to achieve in what are will write? Is there a point you want to make or some opinion you want to state? Perhaps write that item down as a question, just like you did in your email.
Keep whatever you are writing to one topic. It is better to have 3 essays on 3 different topics than to have one essay with 3 topics.
Then try to divide your topic into at most 5 points, arguments or examples. 3 is better.
So, what you are doing is to be very methodical in what you write. In this way, you will try to make sure it makes sense to you and others. Some people outline, some use graphical outlines and some just write out their thoughts. But it has to be in some order.
I hope these ideas help you.
