Brainstorming is a key element to writing a good paper. But what is Brainstorming?
Brainstorming helps figure out not only what you want your paper to be about but also how to go about organizing the paper. There are many different ways for a person to brainstorm.
Free writing is a form of brainstorming, its also pretty simple. Just let all thought go and put pen to paper and write any thing that come to mind down and see where you go from there. It doesn't have to be proper writing or even make any sense, it is simply a way to get thought going and possibly spark an idea for an awesome essay.
A few other examples of brainstorming including clustering or mapping which is having a main idea and then having sub divisions of the main idea that you may think of from the main idea. You may not want to write about your main idea but one thing that comes to your sub divisions may be something you want to make a paper about.
Another form of brainstorming like mapping, is making a list with the same basic technique using a main idea and then having sub thoughts of the main ideas listed after this would also help organizing your paper because you would have your main idea then sub ideas you would use to talk about in the body of your paper and then concluding with your main idea in the end of your paper.
