"had been them seem"? Nice, self. I'm not even sure what I meant to write there. XD Apparently you understood me, though.

And yeah, I don't want the outline to be a straitjacket; it's important to be able to flex, as well.

That your ideas often seem to look more workable at the initial inspiration and less when you think them through?

I also adjust the outline from time to time if I'm working on a longer story - it's actually not much different from what you do in project management. I more or less treat writing as a project.
