“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” — Einstein

I bizarrely get immediate plot ideas more complete from brainstorming and so maybe I should also write early fluid drafts with the quickness aid of clustering for each paragraph and then from the cluster write up the vignettes that provide material.

This would maybe read better in people’s heads as it came bizarrely from the spiral way webs their minds work secretly even though they read line-by-line?

But I prefer clustering as it needs no drawing.

Try clustering as a way of writing notes from what people say.

Photocopy the mind-maps of the other chapters.
