My impression, after years of hearing writers talk about how they work on shows like "Fresh Air," etc., is that it's just amazingly, amazingly various. Whatever's one person's must-do method will be anathema to the next person, who will have a completely different must-do method. It's kind of like the variety of religions out there. At first it made me nervous, if I'd hear someone swearing by a method of writing or a way of approaching writing that was totally alien, but now I just shrug it off. There are lots and lots of ways of creating a story.
I have to go back to sartorias's blog and read comments over there :-)
