I am incapable of writing without an outline. 

There. I said it.

Why am I saying it? because I am Struggling(tm) right now trying to forge ahead on these stories without a complete outline, but somehow I can't get my brain in working order enough to complete said outline.

I am not a pantser. I get lost in the Writerly Swamp if I try that. I may allow myself for quirky deviations along the path to add flavor sometimes, so long as at some point we still reach points A, B, and C, but... uh. How do you get to point C if you don't know what point C is yet? My brain is being very unhelpful. I have no idea how I managed to plot intricate stories before. It feels like I've forgotten how. 

This post has nothing of substance in it. Sorry.

I need a nap.
