Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.
E. B. White
I spend about eight months researching and outlining my book.
Jeffery Deaver
I spend eight months outlining and researching the novel before I begin to write a single word of the prose.

Planning to write is not writing. Outlining, researching, talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.
E. L. Doctorow
The benefit of this kind of outlining is that you discover a story's flaws before you invest a lot of time writing the first draft, and it's almost impossible to get stuck at a difficult chapter, because you've already done the work to push through those kinds of blocks.
