To an extent, I can understand the "just wing it" approach, especially if there's the issue of writer's block and the writer just needs to try *something* to get the story going. The thing is though, if you do that, you will almost certainly need to go back and extensively edit it. That includes making sure the storyline matches up, the pacing works, any unnecessary scenes are removed, details and characterization are consistent, and that the whole thing generally flows well. In short, everything Fitzpatrick didn't do.
