From Any kind of writers you are , those who makes notes before start writing or those who start writing directly?

In academic writing and in any other genres, I first gather the facts and make notes of them.  And then when I'm ready to write, I refer to those notes.  Right now, I'm writing blogs about different places in New Zealand.  What I did earlier was gather the most salient points about a certain place, took down notes of its uniqueness, so it becomes easier for me to compose my ideas.

I always prepare myself to write for any genre of writing.  Making notes for writing always helps!

I write directly ,when i chose subject and complete it in one time .But sometimes i correct it ofter write it .

I start writing directly when I feel like writing, I don't usually take notes

I start writing directly after giving an issue sometime to ripen in my mind, then adjustment may came later
