I think my addition would be to tell them that there are two approaches to getting started. Some writers (the more organized type) start by creating an outline that covers all the important information, then fills it in to write the article or whatever. Others (the less organized ones) start by making notes on everything they know about the topic, then start writing. These wait until they have a first draft, then do a quick outline to see if it fits together and that they got in all the important points. At this point, both can revise appropriately. Some folks prefer to work deductively, while others trust their intuition and jump in feet first. Both methods work (but not for the same people.) JMHO Gordon:
