For me, once it's there, it's there. When I've tried writing like you, just putting things down onto the page, they stay there, and then there's no quality. I have an almost impossible time going back through and making them better. It's as if I need to know what's going onto that piece of paper before I start writing, or I won't be able to progress at all.
I've tried making outlines, but too often they are just lists of the bits I already know, with huge gaps where the plot should be. Needless to say that's not exactly helpful.
Sure, my way may be dignified, but there's almost no output, so you make the call...
