Planning Plus
When I wrote The Twisting Trail to Bifrost’s Way, I intended it as a supplemental volume to The Road to Bifrost. That is how it started. In the end, it became a totally different book. The Twisting Trail to Bifrost’s Way stands on its own. I cannot say exactly when it deviated from the original plan, but I am glad that it did. The result is better than originally planned.
Have you ever had a good idea that got better as you implemented it? Even with the best planning, it goes further than intended. One might say that the project evolves as the work progresses. It can happen with many things.
In all of our plans, we need a little “wiggle room.” We need enough freedom to allow us to adjust. There are situations where that extra bit of flexibility can allow a good thing to become better. Planning is essential for most projects. We do not want to forego good planning. All we want is the ability to implement improvements along the way. That is how we get from Good to Better to Best.
The Twisting Trail to Bifrost’s Way is one of my best books. It would never have been as good if I had not allowed it to grow.
