I love that she breaks a story first, and then sits down to write with a commitment to forward moment. That strikes me as a really balanced and productive approach to writing, that also bridges the gap between the extremes of 100% analytical writers and 100% intuitive writers. Traci, I love the "advantage" idea, too. There's not a lot of stability in my physical environment, so no rolls of butcher paper in my new future, but I'm going to have fun thinking about what "advantages" and visual aids might mean for me. This is a great article. Thanks, Scott.

I too like her emphasis on moving forward, "with no attachment to outcome." That's a great way to put it, because it frees the writer to just dive into the story, maybe experiment (within the bounds of the outline, of course) and stay loose and just have fun with that first draft.
