Now that I have your attention, how do you outline? This was briefly discussed in my 'plough on' thread but it deserves one of its own so here we are.
Do you map out every little detail so that writing the script is just fleshing out each point? Do you just have your skeleton of inciting incident, act breaks, midpoint and a rough idea of what you wanna see along the way? Are you inbetween these two models - listing 10-15 major elements that just need expanding on but still leaves blanks that need to be filled? Or do you do something else altogether?
Do you sit down and plan it out or do you mull things over whilst shopping, driving, ironing, writing down each aspect as and when it comes to you? Do you start your script once you've enough material - be it the opening or all of Act 1 figured out? Or do you wait until you have the whole thing outlined?
