The mind map begins with a central topic in the middle, and then new ideas can be added, moved and connected to different ideas as you begin to brainstorm and think of different story lines
One of the easiest ways to understand how to mind map your novel is to look at a few examples
What do you do with a mind map?
What you do with your mind map depends on your current needs
If you have a story in mind, but can’t figure out where to begin, use a limitless map to get all your ideas out
Add colors to show connections, draw new circles as you think of them, feel free to doodle and see what happens
Why is mindmapping important for writing a book?
Devising a plan for your book through mindmapping helps guarantee that doesn’t happen
It also pushes you to continue brainstorming
You may believe you already have enough to cover a certain subject, but going through the mindmapping process will push you to think of even more great ideas to include when writing your book
