[substeps] For example, maybe you are writing a report about how poorly organized a public school is. Ending2: [substeps] A fresh scene in a book you haven't read in awhile may be difficult to write. Sure, there's a lot going on, but other details such as where or what the book would be about, may come up if you don't do enough research. Ending3: Even if you don't know much about the topic, having a starting point for your research alleviates the pressure of not knowing where to start in the writing process. [substeps] As you write down what you know about the topic, look for gaps in your knowledge. Ending4: [substeps] Keep a journal for brainstorming about possible problem areas. You can freewrite as much as you want during the introductory paragraph (after which the part of your report may end).
