Skiing - you head down the slope without thinking about how you will guide your skis around the curves.
Tennis - you head onto the court, not knowing how your racket will meet the ball.
Cooking - you throw a bunch of ingredients in the pan, having no idea what the dish is supposed to be.

Why then, as a teller of tales, would you not at least attempt to visualize the story before you pound the keys or put pen to paper?
