Haha that was fun! I've been obsessing about this issue on my two blogs because I like to outline heavily, but I tend to deviate, and I've found that sticking to my outline tends to have better results but I'm still kind of in the middle of the issue.
ReplyDeleteAlright, I am still waiting for the answer ;p
ReplyDelete:D Strawberry Girl, the answer is... BOTH! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat video. Is that you as a Sim. Love it
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool video! I kinda do both. I scratch out enough ideas to get started, then jump in and get to know my characters.
ReplyDeleteSaundra, you are awesome. Of course. : ) Love her T-shirt!
