Here I collect the different types of writer I came across so far.

There are at least two types of writers:

The one that outlines first, and then fills in the information
This is the The Architect
The one that has a vague idea of what to write about, maybe a title, and then goes with the flow and sees where it takes him/her
Like Stephen King, having fun on exploring. This is The gardener to Brandon Sanderson in The Tim Ferriss Show. See also more in Type of Notetakers

More on YouTube by George RR Martin.

My Writing Process and everyones writer, see How I Write (Podcast), writes differently

There are also other Type of Notes that can be written and other Type of Notetakers. Which might help to organize your knowledge.

I think it’s important to have a place where you store your knowledge (notes from books, insights you read online, ideas, etc.) that can help you when you write too.

The questions of Curious about WriterDeck philosophy: Writing vs. Typing? : r/writerDeck triggered me to think a bit more.
