What method of finding writing inspiration can help if you have too many ideas?

Question

prewriting

free association

responding to a prompt

brainstorming

Answer 1

Brainstorming can help when you have too many ideas, as it allows you to generate even more ideas without worrying about organizing or prioritizing them yet. You can then use prewriting or free association to explore those ideas and narrow them down to a more manageable list. Responding to a prompt can also help focus your ideas and give you direction for what to write about.
