Here's a question for you PoW lifers:

I've got a shit ton planned out for Britain, like twenty-twenty five posts ahead of where I'm currently at, and even though I find it helpful to have it all planned out like that I also find it stifles me a bit. For those of you that have been playing for years/since the game began, how far ahead do you plan? How do you stop yourself from feeling like you're just going through the motions?
