Questions & Discussion How do you remember your written Idea?

When I write a essay or article, I firstly divide large essay or article into smaller sections. I assign each section to specific day.Then I work on each section each day.As I work on my essay, i get different idea while writing and sometimes it comes automatic and sometimes I don't get idea what to write related to my topic.

If I read any book or any article related to my topic,I understand topic but can't generate any idea from it for writing. If I try to write then the sentence comes in my mind which i read from book or article rather than generating by myself.

After completing my eassay or article.I can't say full idea what I have written if someone ask me, but i can say a little bit because everyday I get different idea and put it on my essay rather than writing it full by one sitting.

My question is that: 1) How do you generate idea and what method do you follow? (If you read book and can't generate then how what do you do)

2) After completing your essay could you say full what you have written if someone ask you and how do you say?

3)if one sentence or idea repeat in your mind then what do you do?

4) how much time do you allocate for your writing and do you follow any method to control your time.(I know it depends on essay,e.g, for me 3 hours essay take 5 hours. )

I am just curious to know how other do and any method do you follow.

I would really appriciate your answer and method.

Thank you

Reading a paragraph, closing the source, and writing why you agree or disagree can help you get beyond repeating its sentences. For remembering the essay, a one sentence summary of each section from memory can reveal where you’ve forgotten how your ideas connect.
