I am also a fan of mindmapping. I tend to use it for everything from website creation to article creation, and for the most part I would say that it has proved very effective. I am glad to hear that someone else is using this method to structure their work, and build on ideas. Excellent article. I am also a fan of mindmapping.

However, I do think that some writing doesn’t require a plan. If you get too bogged down in organisation and “red tape,” you’re going to get nowhere. There’s a happy medium between organisation and freedom. It’s just finding it. I guess we’re opposites then. :)

The other articles were just, uh, made up on the spot. I usually take note of ideas or interesting titles, most often on my mobile phone (because it's the only recording method I'll have at all times). There's also some research involved as you mentioned in your previous article. I come up with maybe 2 or 3 points I want to make. Then I just fill in the gaps, jumping from point to point, intro to conclusion and back. Reread everything to make sure the article's still coherent, and then I hit the publish button. My mind probably works better with less hard-and-fast rules, and more freedom. Though I'd have a structured plan for longer articles. There were only a few times where I planned out my articles.
