I write down anything that comes to mind if I'm having a block then I build on that outline the next time I sit down to write. Your first go at a topic does not have to make sense.

The thing I enjoy most about writing is the flow of it. Once you get started it seems to take on a life of its own. You can constantly improve on what you've written - it's a never-ending creative process. (less)
