The question:
Do you believe one has to completely work out their world before starting writing or can you do it on the fly as you go?
The problem: I find myself wanting to start writing badly but then I sit down and get 1 or 2 sentences in and realize wait...how far is this place I'm sending my characters too? How long is the journey? Where is this on my map? Why don't I have a map drawn? What was I planning to call that town? OMG my brain is melting I need to eat something. And then this turns into watching a movie or doing something else.
