After reading “Writer’s Toolbox” I now know of many different ways to better my writing skills. Mind maps are the visual representation of ideas. They help to organize and expand on a central idea. Concept maps allow for a more in depth look into conceptual ideas. To make a concept map you begin with a central topic and then add prepositional phrases that describe the topic around it. Free writing allows you to get out every idea you have about a topic, without organization or thought. To free write you simply write for a set time without stopping. Brain writing allows all members of a group to take turns writing about an idea, adding to the diversity of ideas and shared work loads. Word lists lend new ideas about a topic through word association from a central topic. These different ways of brainstorming can help solve problems with a creative mind-set and approach and encourage outside-the- box thinking.
