I’m a very extensive plotter and have never been able to finish a project with any other method. This is what my process typically looks like:

1. Brainstorm general premise
2. Write a 1-3 page synopsis
3. Write a chapter-by-chapter outline
4. Revise synopsis and outline as needed
5. Write a super short rough draft with key scenes
6. Revise rough draft to get manuscript to appropriate length, building in subplots, description, etc.

Plotting is really a process to help my brain keep track of plot threads, character arcs, what I need to foreshadow, etc so I can better enjoy the drafting process.
