Outlining is a method that is used to organize thoughts and information; one that I commonly use to guide my writing. Prior to this artifact, once an outline was planned and composed, I would follow it step by step when writing the actual piece. However, during the production of this essay, the message that I wanted to convey changed causing it to clash with my outline. I battled with the notion of whether I should continue on my original path or lead my essay in a new direction (with the ways of defining and conclusion).
