Does this count as a "Writing Process"?

When I start working on a writing project it starts slow. An idea here, a scene layout there, some fantastic lines that stick in my brain. All together it looks promising enough, so I get started in writing some of the pieces down so I can place the puzzle together later. Then comes the point when these vague ideas need to stop floating around so I can pinpoint order out of misty chaos.

This is where things get tricky.

As the dust starts to settle into hard set plot, I find that there are so many different paths I can walk down, and each path has smaller foot paths of variation. Some of these foot paths are clear and an easy hike to the end of the story. Other foot paths are more over grown and harder to maneuver through, but the views at the end are breathtaking. 

Plotting stories out is extremely difficult, but the confusion and frustration is so worth it when a piece comes together in the end. Sometimes what I have in mind at the beginning of a project is not where I find myself ending.
