More writing nonsense

Well, now I've established that the Snowflake method of plotting works exactly as well for me as mind mapping, i.e. I get bored and annoyed a few steps in. *snort* But if it does work for you, there is an awesome Scrivener template to take you through step by step if you google

Mind maps are AWFUL. And I can't believe that people at uni level make them compulsory when my HIGH SCHOOL teachers accepted that my brain doesn't work that way and let me hand in hierarchical lists instead! It's all still planning! I just do mine in an ordered, linear manner, with headings and subheadings :)

I hate that mind map users are all religious about them. It's a tool that works for some people and is an incredibly annoying waste of time for others. But people who fit into the second group are just lazy or deluded or something.

I always did my planning for high school essays after I'd written them. Complete with "accidental" mistakes and corrections.
