That was totally me growing up. I just couldn't understand why I needed to make an outline first, and so I didn't, much to my parents' chagrin. I felt like I just needed to write down my thoughts, and my thoughts were generally in a logical order.

Too, the only time in my life (when I was in college) that I ever took the time to write a rough draft, I ended up with a D on my final copy. Every other time I'd ever written anything I'd gotten an A.

Oh, and I turned out to be a professional writer and editor, so I guess it didn't hurt me too much!

She thought she could, so she did.
