1. Writing starts at the beginning and the story is told in order until it ends.
2. The story stays on track.
3. The story makes sense on the first pass.
4. Steady progression of words without the constant need to stop and rethink everything.
5. Details that randomly introduced themselves in the beginning become relevant at the end without any need to massage.
6. No details need to be edited in to the beginning to match what happens at the end.
7. The characters all behave. No one quits or refuses or play his or her part.
Now, guess what happened with my current story?
