Each of these outlining methods are worth trying for a specific novel.

“Pefectionism kills momentum.”

I think it can also kill creativity. Having a rough outline surely helps but outlining every detail, limits your freedom while writing the story. Finding a good balance between free writing and outlining seems to be the goal.

I’ve been doing Plantsing without knowing it the entire time, it seems.

But I’ve also tried Pantsing – and it lead to such bad results that I never published the stories I wrote with it.

Again, for future novels, I’ve planned to try different Plotting Methods. Let’s see if that improves my writing.

A character page – at least for the main characters – might actually be a good idea.

Normally I write a rough outline for 2-3 pages for my entire novel. For future novels I’ll try different outlining methods to see which one suits me best.
