Well I am using a minimum of planning to get my project started. I've nailed down the opening and the wrap-up bits using a Scrivener Template that I put together a while back based on the Lester Dent formula. I figured out some basic math to help guide me as well. If 1 scene is 1000 words then that comes to 50 scenes divided between 4 parts and if you have two scenes per chapter that means that you have 25 chapters that average out at 8 pages per chapter (with 1000 words = to 4 pages). I'm sure I won't hold exactly to that framework probably but it does mean that I will have a rough idea where I am along the way at least. I just feel too adrift without some sort of plan. I did win NaNo in 2009 but have never gotten the ms into any sort of shape.
