I am a writer dealing with a rule breaking issue right now in my novel. I opened up the website and there was the essay.

For myself, I do plot out my stories with an outline on index cards. (I know it’s old school) Then I write out the first draft. That’s when I really reject my first idea of how to end the book, but I am so into the project, I find a more satisfying ending.
