Writing is not about putting down what you already know and think, but more of a process of breaking your thoughts and ideas down into pieces and figuring out what it is that you're thinking. Most experinced and well developed writers will handle a piece of writing in stages, consisting of three main stages. Planning, drafting and revising but may at some point refer back to each one during the breakdown process. The best way to generate ideas for a piece of writing is to jot down ideas either while listening to music or driving on your way to work. Explore your thoughts with those around you and anyone willing to listen to help you realize what your thinking and why your thinking that and experiement with ways of getting your thoughts to other readers in an understandle and reasonable method.
Some general ideas for a writer to become more aware and even interested in their topic is choce is to talk and listen about the thoughts and ideas they're currently exploring, annotating texts and taking notes, listing, clustering, freewriting, askign the journalist's questions, or keeping a journal. The goal should be the same no matter what technique you choose to use. After your generate your thoughts and ideas you can then begin working on a thesis. Which is a question or the main idea of the topic your writing about.
Using this information towards my writing in the future I think will help me in all the ways I descried since I've acually never really done any of them except, never for an assignment or something I had to do but usually for some reason my best thoughts and ideas always come to me when i'm driving. So i'll find the best oppertunity for me to quickly write down what came to my mind and then I'll look at it later and analyze that. What I was thinking and why and when and what it meant and all those types of things. So I look forward to using some of these strategies, especially since most are new to me.
