You may find brainstorming a good way to get started or to get going if you are stuck. In using this strategy, you are seeking quantity of ideas, not quality. Put circles around main ideas or concepts. Draw lines to connecting ideas, and you can write in conjunctions along the lines. The process may generate new ideas, so it is like brainstorming.
Writing is a process of continually linking ideas together.
Take the creative ideas you have developed and use your critical thinking skills to organize them in a logical manner. Think of your outline as a skeleton. You will edit your writing later. If you have the creative energy to keep moving to another section in your outline, go ahead. Just remember not to let your critical faculties distract you from the creative flow of the first draft.
