Organize

Writing process always starts from ideas, which later on grouped together in terms of messages. There are two types of messages: Organized and unorganized.

Organized messages are the groups of similar ideas which helps the reader to understand the sequence and ideas in the same way the writer viewed them.

Unorganized messages on the other hand give readers the freedom of having jumping thoughts while jumbling different ideas which can create frustration and irritation as they can't understand the idea behind a piece of writing.

According to many communication experts mostly business writers fail because of poor organization of ideas. They can overcome this failure by following two simple techniques: the scratch list and the outline.

Tips for Organizing Ideas:

• Analyze the ideas generated in the original cluster diagram.
• Cross out ideas that are obviously irrelevant; simplify and clarify.
• Add new ideas that seem appropriate.
• Study the ideas for similarities.
• Group similar ideas into classifications (such as Content, Development, and Form).
• If the organization seems clear at this point, prepare an outline.
• For further visualization, make sub-cluster circles around each classification.
