Still, the concept applies to most stories. If you don't plan your story before writing, it had better be short, or you will likely find yourself veering into the weeds, trying to keep the story alive.

Edited to remove the image of the chart. I tried and failed to obtain permission from the author to post the image. Not sure I would be able to choose no entry image, I substituted a photo of mine. It has nothing to do with my topic, but it's a favorite.

Very true! I like the concept this illustrates.

I agree with this over and over because I've been the victim of thinking I'm going to write a long story in a short time, and in the weeds I go.  Taught me to give more thought and planning to the project.
