Great article on the benefits of plotting a story BEFORE you get into the meat of this. In my own writing, I tend to write the first 30 pages on pure creative steam. Then I... slowly... get... bogged... down. If it hadn't been for outlining, I would have never finished the first draft of my novel. Currently I'm working on plotting a story I came back to and was surprised to find halfway decent. This is my reintroduction into self-discipline. After this, I will outline the second draft of the novel. Secondary character sketches will also be included in this.
Urgh! When did writing become *work*?
