Finding Your Process: Start Writing
Ultimately, to write, you have to just write.
Take whatever your organizing activities and/or materials produced, and start putting words down. Include everything you think you might need -- you can pare away the excess later.
Jot notes into your text and highlight them to remind you to come back to check or plug in facts, or to finish an idea whose conclusion is not coming readily. Pin a placeholder and keep moving to the next thought.
Part of the beauty of computerized word processing is that you can skip around and re-arrange all you need.
So, go ahead and over-explain, repeat yourself, go on a tangent or do whatever it takes to keep putting one word after the other.
