Hey Everyone!

I’ve been thinking a lot about plotting/pre-writing. I generally don’t like to prewrite. I’m a total pantser who runs off of the evasive, ever-fleeting fuel of creative whims. However, these whims rarely come. So, just last week, I decided to write a short story I thought of years ago but never successfully finished. I decided to do some plotting/outlining before I began. The problem is, I ran into countless unanswered questions and plotholes. I finally got so bogged with tying together all the random pieces that my creative energy left entirely. I got tired of the story. Do you have any advice for plotting/pre-writing without getting bored and burned-out before you even start writing?
