Grabbing your paint brush and galloping off orthogonally on it....
Aside from Oriental calligraphy etc (performance art with ink), most of us know that a representational oil painting isn't begun using a paint brush, it's begun with a pencil sketch and developed in stages. And we've all seen plenty of pencil sketches, and some of the developing stages (lots of ruler lines for perspective etc). For stories -- most of us haven't seen that many rough synopses and outlines and such.
And then there are the people who cry, "Don't plan, just let it FLOW out...!"
