I was wondering about the methods other writers use to plan and the amount of time that's spent on planning. I personally like to spend a long time on plans and plan in masses of detail, but how about you?
Do you prioritise plot over characters, characters over plot? Do you do separate plans for backstories? Do you like to throw random ideas on a page, do a mind map, sketch a brief outline or have you got some other planning method that works for you? Do you prefer not to plan and just go with the flow?
Also, if you've found a really good planning method, post it here and share it with everyone!
