WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 16 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Hello on Wednesday!  We're halfway through the week!  What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

       - I thought about my fic once or twice
       - I wrote
       - I did some planning and/or research
       - I edited
       - I've sent my fic off to my beta
       - I posted today!
       - I'm taking a break
       - I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Wednesday Discussion:  Do you find outlines and plans to be generally helpful or do you work better just letting the writing take you whither it will?
