As a homeschool mom, I know planning is KEY. I am super organized and really enjoy the planning process. I heart spreadsheets and love making them pretty with multicolor rows, etc. It makes a huge difference in the daily grind, and it’s a real sanity-saver.
I believe it to be same with storytelling. I enjoy the planning process there, as well. HOWEVER, it has a significant creativity-killing effect on the actual drafting part of things. Drafting is a super fun adventure as a pantser, but pantsing makes a massive mess in the end.
How do you outline/plan effectively without it putting a cork in the creative flow?
