I counsel writers who have so much in their head that they cannot get it out.

Suggestions:

Have a tape (audio/vhs) recorder set up and let the person speak outloud like he is preaching, teaching a classtoom, presenting, etc. Don't stop! after a while he will get the bulk of the data out of his head - clear enough to write a paragraph of clear precise data.

I have noticed if the individual gets angry (conviction) their thoughts they will be able to write precisely what they want.

I tell writers to just write, put it aside for a day do one prrof - put it aside and three times a charm at least 2-3 days in between revisions, if he is a student then work on something else, etc.
