Creating a thesis: Your thesis may not come first and most of the time your thesis can be formed after your information is collected. You want to make sure that you have a general idea of what the thesis may be about and later structure your thesis with how it make sense to your story line. Your thesis may have a basic tone and have a general statement, although in the end you should have a thesis that takes a stands on your topic and have a debatable issue. When drafting it makes sense to jot down the ideas and opinion you may have to expand on. This will allow you to start making clusters and outlines to organize your thoughts. Journals entry's are great to reference back to to allow yourself to pinpoint your specific topic and may even provide a general idea of what you would want your thesis statement to be. The main question that you want to ask yourself is "will my audience accept and or appreciate a clearly stated thesis?"
Personal
What I have learned is while creating your thesis you want to base your thesis off of your idea+ your point about the topic= a working thesis= a essay plan= draft. Everyone makes the mistake of basing your thesis and paper off of what makes sense to you and not your audience. A thesis will set the whole tone for your paper and you want to make sure that it is clear, argumentative, and have a central point. If your thesis doesn't have those key things, you may want to consider allowing yourself to research and have a journal you can reference back to, allowing yourself to think more broadly on the "freaking point".
