"I generally do not think out plots or characters ahead of time. I let things roll along. Organic is the word I use for this. But actually I do it because I am a reader before I am a writer. I want my own writing to surprise me, the way someone else’s book does. If I think out everything ahead of time, I am–in Truman Capote’s words–”Not a writer but a typewriter.”
To the outside eye this may seem a lazy way to write. It drives anyone I work with crazy. But I have learned to trust those intuitive moments when stories seem to leak from my fingertips."
I took that from Jane Yolen (http://janeyolen.com/for-writers/)'s website. She's written over 300 books, has won several awards, and has been called the "Hans Christen Andersen of America". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Yolen)
Different people have different styles of writing. Some people plot out everything in advance. Some people only have general guidelines. Some people dash out everything in the first draft off-the-cuff before they go into editing. Now, I agree that for something that's being published as it's written, like most webcomics, planning ahead is a really good idea. I think the "writing stuff as it comes to you" method works better for something that's put together as a whole unit, like a book or a movie, since that allows you to go back and edit anything that doesn't fit with the whole of the work, and gives you more time to refine everything. But...still, while there's "rules" that's good to know about when you're writing, you can break those rules. you've got to be a good writer to do that, but it's possible to do so.
