Do you think brainstorming, freewriting, or clustering is the most effective way to overcome writer's block? Support your answer with at least two reasons.

Answers will vary but should be supported by well-thought-out reasons. With brainstorming, a person could mention that openness to all ideas can be extremely effective because writer's block often happens when ideas are negatively judged before being given a chance. Also, brainstorming allows various ideas to be compared. Freewriting can be effective because it compels a person to get thoughts down on paper or on screen without censorship. Also, it gives a person a chance to get inspired by an idea and go with the flow. Clustering can be effective, especially for a person who needs to see a visual representation of how ideas relate. Also, clustering helps with planning a report or essay because it groups ideas into categories that could be used for an outline.
