Gay Talese's outline for his famous magazine article "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold"

Pfft, software!

Interesting outline, that!

Could be on a restaurant place mat.

It has elements of a mind map to it. I wonder if it was done prior to Tony Buzan making his questionable claim to have invented mind mapping?

I enjoy seeing how writers do their work. Thanks for this.

That kind of scribbles is why I started to use electronic outliners (can read my own handwriting).....paper is a "good" presentation medium but a rubbish storage medium.

Here's one you may also enjoy; it takes Post-Its to the limit, and beyond. (For those who don't know who Will Self is, he's an English novelist.)

Hugh, thanks - you're right - I did enjoy that? This guy could well be the world's best customer for Post-Its!
