Hey /adv/
I like politics. I want to write about politics and I have a LOT of great ideas and perspectives of what to write about. But I am so scatterbrained that I have no idea how to begin. I feel like I will lose interest in what I am writing and leave it unfinished.
I feel so distracted to start. My notes are either written down, typed in random word documents, or on my notepad app on my phone. I feel so overwhelmed to even begin.
Any suggestions? I've usually written like research for school, not open-ended stuff.
You need outlines, structure, a skeleton of an article, then fill in the meat. If you can't do that then you have no business writing.

Figured as such, probably the way I want to go. But I'm the type of writer that shotguns things out. I don't want to do it from that approach anymore.

People have to be able to follow what you're writing about.

True.
Any tips on how not to fuck up an outline? Like bad writing habits NOT to have when making one? one of mine is I feel I need to write EVERYTHING on each point I make
