How does your writing process work? When you get an idea, do you start mapping out a plot, outlines, worldbuilding, or just go straight to writing?

Yeah, I will usually do an outline!
I consider myself kind of a cross between a plotter and a discovery writer. I will usually always figure out the main plot points (I use a variation of the 3 act structure), protagonist's inner conflict and goals as well as a few sideplots/mini arcs that I want to explore. Sometimes I will then make a detailed outline in bullet points of everything I want to happen in between the main plot points but often I'll just kind of write and see what happens. I know where I'm going in terms of the bigger plot points, but the finer stuff in between I'll just let myself discover. Sometimes I will make a more detailed outline though! Especially if I'm struggling with a chapter. But I won't outline the entire fic in detail before I start writing because it changes too much over time 😭
