Ahh Writing

My biggest fear in writing has always been coming up with enough to say. I've always been able to come up with good ideas, but I rarely put in enough detail. I guess it's because I've always been a fan of simplicity and really like keeping stuff short. Usually, I think I've explained something fully, but don't have enough support. Specifics are definitely something I lack in my papers because I think a general explanation will suffice when in reality it doesn't. In order to fix this I really think I have to keep asking myself would I understand if I was reading this for the first time-could this really prove anything. If I do significant pre-writing I think I can overcome this problem.
