I wish I were a more orderly writer. It wld be so much more efficient. So many people just plan out what they're going to say & then say it.

I get it tightly structured in the end & its better than if I didn't allow myself to include any of the things I thought of in process
-
But it's bloody inefficient & my 'cut bits' document is sometimes longer than the final essay.

I've probably whined this whine before but it's so annoying it's multiple-whine-worthy.

I'm very far from an expert, but I think the best thing to do is substantiate a narrow, specific thesis, then save the extra argument to...
-
substantiate related theses later.
-
Yeah but the problem with that is that the ideas that come up are better. I've changed direction of argument midway before coz warranted.

Another thing that helps is
@ScrivenerApp - only $45 and they give you 30-day free trial. And they're NICE! But I hear you. -
OK! I'll have a look! Damn my chaotic brain!

If you get it, go thru video tutorial. Worth it. Example: why it's so great. Like Mac finder alongside writing (doc) & you store versionspic.twitter.com/3Kzv20weN9

I will do that tomorrow. (But now I'm distracted by what you're writing about which seems much more interesting than mine. XD)

Another helpful thing is to go through text and highlight only essentials. Helps me, anyway.
