It works for me, Alina. I like to have something to write towards even if I don't know how exactly I'm getting there. 
 @8a4a4980 I get that, and I think it can help make your writing more focused. If you know what should happen in the end, you can envision how exactly to get there. I've heard about this technique before, but I don't remember where. I might try it 😊

I've read some variations on how to imagine it. I like the one where you imagine you're on top of a mountain looking across a mountain range and choose another peak to get to. 

Planning:
You take your bearings, pick out a few landmark waypoints, and set off. 

Pantsing:
You don't know what's going to happen along the way, or who you're going to meet and the stories you might encounter.

Editing:
When you get finish, you look back over your journey and write about the best bits. 
 @8a4a4980 I like that!
