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'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.

Why do you think that process isn't itself a planning process? Because it wasn't entirely done in your head first?
-
It is. It;s just a really inefficient one and annoys academic supervisors.

Seems entirely appropriate, even necessary, to me if you want quality output. In my field what you described is pretty normal.
-
If your supervised are annoyed at that, the most charitable I can be is that they don't want to edit it at that stage.

I write in a similar fashion. (Keep the rubbish you cut: I find it’s often very useful later).
-
Yup - that's my method too.

Survival of the fittest, whether of living things or ideas, is neither efficient nor pretty. But almost always the only path to creativity.
