>feel myself intuitively moving
That's the key phrase that jumped out at me. At some point you're still building the foundation, getting it RIGHT. At some other point, you're writing. Moving from the one to the other is more intuitive than objective. Have I got that right?
I've been trying to pay attention to how I do it, and I'm saddened to report we may be in the same boat. You know, the HMS Intuitive. I outline, research, structure, make notes. I jot down snippets, write exploratory scenes, and somewhere along the line I look around and realize that, apparently, I've begun the book.
I have no real objection to the HMS Intuitive, but the damn thing does have an uncanny ability to sneak up on a fellow.
