Day 57: Organize topics into logical idea chains.

After you have organized your ideas into large groups, consider how the ideas in groups interact. Two central questions guide this process.

First, which ideas can serve as topic sentences for paragraphs? These are ideas that comprise other ideas on your list, which become supporting ideas within a paragraph. For example, you may identify 4–5 minor ideas that all support one significant idea. If you have more than 4–5, keep refining so your paragraphs are not too general.

Second, do these topic sentences have a logical order? A reader may need to understand one idea or be convinced about one idea before reading another.

What you are doing here is creating an outline that will help you deliver your ideas in a convincing and engaging manner. You are refining the organization process from broad ideas to specific ideas. Once this process is complete, you will have identified what you want to write about and in what order, and you will be ready to write.
