The hot... male, librarian? lol, now there's a twist.I can't imagine writing without having a general idea of where I wanted the story to go. I like to write an outline and then let the characters decide how they get there. The events in the outline give me something to look forward to writing. I like to think of it as a cruise - I know the ports-of-call and I cannot change them, but what happens in the journey to them remains unwritten.

I agree - my first book had no planning at all behind it and the writing process took far longer than I wanted. Second book had an outline from start to end and was finished in just under a month so it definitely pays to put the effort in during the early stages.
Simply got carried away today but tomorrow it's time to crack on with the outline.
P.S. Yeah, the librarian - just came to me whilst I mulling over what would be within the realms of reality.
