As part of your prewriting, you’ll definitely want to begin by deciding on a position to take that will be the easiest for you to argue, researching information that backs up what you will argue in order to give yourself credibility, and looking into opposing viewpoints so that you may refute (or concede) in order to provide a balanced paper.  Eliminating logical fallacies and citing sources, though important, are somethings that can be done during the final stages of the paper in order for your ideas to not be hampered; they can be addressed later so as not to interfere with your brainstorming and prewriting stages.
