My experience was pretty similar to Mike’s as he described in the previous post. I did a lot of whiteboard work as well as a short analysis of the thing I was looking at (youtube comment dialogues for political discourse). I finished the assignment up with a document with prose, putting all of my ideas into somewhat coherent thoughts…
This is definitely an exercise that is helpful, I plan on doing this sort of thing anytime I need to write in the future. I also decided to take a different route than the last time I did pre-writing in a one aspect (instead of Bowie, I went with some Fleetwood Mac).
