@irafcummings i’m trying to get better at this, as well. a lot of what i want to write goes off on tangents and turns into an opus. here’s how i’m trying to get better:
1. make an outline
2. have a file open on the side to capture (new/tangential/related) ideas, so they don’t infect the main piece
3. write the conclusion first. it’s like marking a spot on a map that you want to be the destination.

i’ll let you klnow how this goes.
