Then write down questions you still have. Then craft a thesis that unifies most of those lists. Then re-arrange the lists into an outline: group ideas by how they&#8217;re related to the thesis you&#8217;ve created. Treat each group as a paragraph (some may be multiple paragraphs if more complex.) As you encounter questions, answer them as well as you can, but don&#8217;t get stuck on them. The key is to keep writing. Don&#8217;t get caught up in things that slow you down. Go! I believe in you! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t panic!
