Agreed! Though there are some people who can plan it all out in advance in meticulous detail, and I hate them. I've got a friend who knows every line before he starts writing. I couldn't do it. My friend calls me a "seat of the pants-er" — someone who makes it up as they go along and fixes everything in the edits. There are some advantages to planning it all out, I think — you can control the pacing with a lot more skill. On the other hand I think it kills some of the spontaneity, so it's a trade-off.
