Do most people write stuff and then go back and search for links to relevant content?
As a writer, I'm continually inspired by things I read or watch, and when I find something, I add it to my references. I use Zotero[1], but it's not the only solution. When I start writing, I already have my notes and the links to sources and related content. I don't add in links as an afterthought, the writing is informed by the related material.
Maybe, once in while, when I've done a couple of drafts and am getting close to the final version, I'll go back and add in links, but rarely do I spend time poking around on the web. I go to my references. Granted, the reference database takes effort to create and maintain, but the end result is far better than what I'd get just doing a web search for a term.
