You make a very interesting case Ryan. And scary Pandemic routine btw.

In my experience, pantsing makes me miserable. And plotting is my comfort zone. But so many times the first one brings better results. And you’re right about the effort vs reward thing, plotting always leads to expectations.

I’ve convinced myself to do whatever it takes to get to the finish line and it has been working more or less.

A balance between easy, hard and medium stories has also been helping with the quantity. But the misery thing, I’m still working on. :)
