Please do keep us posted. One of the reasons why I am going through the Mind Map book by Tony Buzan is for the very same reason --- writing.

I have a LOT of information to wade through before I can put things down on paper, and the old way of drafting everything is so time consuming and thought congestive that it is hard to really see the overall picture of where you start your topic and where you want to go with it.

Incidentally, The Mind Map Book by Tony Buzan has some interesting additions in it from Barry Buzan, Tony's brother. Barry Buzan states in the book that the main purpose he uses Mind Maps for is for writing, and it has helped him have a very high output of writing in a short period of time.

For whatever it is worth to you, you may want to take a few minutes and read through the Foreward in the book, it is worth the time!
