Planning? Not really something I do consciously, at least not at first. I have a broad overview of where my story is going over 3 books, but that fell into place as I wrote.
I go through phases of writing chaotically - creating scenes, dialogues, or just descriptions. Most of these just have filler names for places and characters. It’s not till much later that I realize how my brain is piecing the fragments together and how it all fits (and who the characters actually are!)
Fitting it all in and cleaning it up is for days when I’m not overflowing with ideas.
