“Swoopers write a story quickly, higgledy-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it again painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn’t work. Bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they’re done they’re done.”

Kurt Vonnegut

Thomas Basbøll attributes this quote to Timequake, which I haven’t yet read. 

The dotted line principle works well if you’re a swooper.
