In my novel writing experience, this technique has a serious limitation. I find that writing the story leads to major epiphanies that would never derive from outlining alone. These would render much of the outlining pointless.
Also, the only dialogue I’ve ever written that stood the test of time came from writing in the context of the written story.
Writing the story itself is the idea generator. You build a machine as you write and eventually that machine will do much of the writing. But you have to build it.
