Books do require planning. It's a simple fact. Even if Philip Pullman drew up drafts of His Dark Materials without figuring an end, he was still experienced enough to recognize the vague "dark area" that would indicate possible ends, and engineered his writing in a way so as to create as few as possible inconsistencies. Then, once the draft was completed, his revision process was necessarily more stringent so as to smooth out the plot.

This is writing. There are exceptions. You know this, I know this. But there are fundamentals. You don't break from this fundamentals unless you have a very good reason. Gokua has no good reason.

Whoever said that writing is a free art deserves to be made a claustrophobic, and locked up in an elevator for a year.

Sure, once I am done the first draft I will obviously tone it well. But to start, I will let my feelings speak for themselves. When you begin to structure a story around something you find yourself trying to follow your plans. That can cripple your writing.

I see what you're saying though. But people have different styles. I have a basic idea, and I'll unearth the rest of the idea in the process of writing it.
