How writing is like a road trip

Fiction writer Katharine Britton discusses how she does drafts, using whiteboards and index cards, and the importance of "musing" at the start: "As when I travel, I require both a beginning image and a final image for my stories. My characters get some say in the route we take to get there, and I’m flexible about who gets to come along on the journey, but the adage, 'If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do' holds altogether too much uncertainty for me."
