I have some GREAT books that have tons of worksheets and questions. If I use every single worksheet and plan out every single thing, it just sucks the life out of me. But I can't NOT plan. LOL! The best part about being a creative person is finding your own creative way to do things, taking the best parts of other people's ideas and creating your own path. :) I so get that, Stormy.

Just last night I was working on my outline with a novel planning book. So far it's worked really well with putting the character and setting sketches together, etc. But last I was looking a little ahead and I thought, wow, I'm getting so bogged down filling out worksheets that I'm completely losing my vision for this book! I HAVE to plan, especially for NaNoWriMo, so I'm not a pantster but I never thought I would reach a point where I felt like I was OVERplanning. Obviously, as writers, we all have different processes that work for us. So I decided not to continue with this route but to maybe read through the rest of the book and take from it what works for me and leave out what doesn't. This postcard idea might be just the thing for me! This could not have come at a better time for me! Just last night I was working on my outline with a novel planning book.
