In honor of #CanadianThanksgiving I'm thankful for the beat sheet function in @celtx.com which I just started using to organize my next script. I need to start this one more efficiently - going back and filling in the holes has become a thankless/endless process.

Do you outline every script before writing, or do you dive straight in when the idea strikes?
There’s no wrong answer. Sometimes you need to capture the chaos first. Placeholders can help you keep momentum until you’re ready to refine.
