Fractally.
Write down your main point in a single sentence. Write down three (ish) supporting or illustrating points in one sentence each. Write a sentence explaining how those points support the main point.
Now, for every sentence you have, write down three or so supporting points and another sentence explaining how those support the original sentence.
Repeat until you've reached the word count or level of depth/detail you desire.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoA long time ago, there was an "outline processor" called ThinkTank that helped you write in that style. I don't know if there's any modern equivalent.
- cimmanom 9y agoMS Word has an outline mode that I've always used for that. On Mac, there's OmniOutliner, though it's expensive and I'm not sure how well it works for collapsing all the items into prose. You might also be able to make Scrivener's outline mode work that way.
