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?

While I'm no Vet, my shit for Italy has had a basic outline of where I wanted to go with it about 12-15 posts in advance.

Problem with me is since I'm extremely busy at work during this time of year and that gives me time to think about all my shit that makes zero sense and thus scrap entire story lines and redo them. Rinse and Repeat a few times and here I am.

Planning ahead is something I want to do and enjoy doing, but then noticing how convoluted and terrible it really is makes me second-guess everything at the moment. Plus, seeing all the CRAZY ASS SHIT on the wiki that happened with previous people's nations really makes me not want to be just another repeat fucker-upper.
