I need help with the Game Design Document for a game I'm making

Sometimes, I feel embarrassed by my lack of game design schooling, because I don't have any skill in making a design document for games. I was actually hoping for a bit of help with making sure I have a GDD (Game Design Document) for the future.

If anyone's wondering, I never had the feeling of need for a GDD before I started using a more professional engine (I initially used RPG Maker... and am now using Unity for the time being), so I really feel out of my league right now. If anyone could provide an easy to use method for me to make a GDD, I'd appreciate it, everyone.

GDD is just a tool. Don't focus on it, focus on a game you want to make.

Describe your game (that's what GDD is about in its core :D).

Right... that would be easy to explain if I wasn't so dead tired right now. I'll get back to you guys about it later.

In short? I'll describe the game later. I need to head to bed.

Maybe a tool like http://www.xmind.net/ will help you get your thoughts down, and eventually organized?

Then again, maybe you were looking for more something like this:
