First I jot down an outline. I try to lay out my key points, then layout each sub point. Each sub point should directly prove the key point and each key point should prove the overall argument. Once that outline is there, I type out my thoughts in long form. Once the long form is done, I hatchet out anything that doesn't match the outline. Lastly I try to write for brevity. I minimize prose and maximize focus. I find clear language is more valuable to people than beautiful language, but that might just be my audience.
