outlining my paper

I remember the fear in my eyes when hearing that I have to have an outline for my paper, I though another google doc for me to write a bunch of things that I may or may not use, but this outline was a lot different. I chose my outlining format by thinking of something that will organize my scattered thoughts. I used both a white board and note cards. the white board had my big ideas on it while the note cards I made had the big ideas as well as little ideas. this helped during my writing process since I was able to erase stuff on my whiteboard and use other notecards to write down new ideas. I found this outlining super easy since I again was able to erase and add certain stuff while writing my paper, and during drafting as well.
