The Architecture of Writing

When it comes to writing, everyone has different technique for constructing a written piece.
Some of these ways might be more effective or ineffective based on the individual.
In many ways I see my writing much like how an architect plans out a building.
At the base of the building one has the foundation that holds the rest of the building up.
In other words, this is your first few sentences.
Some sentences will flow and connect, but if there is no base to build off of one can go no further.
Then one reaches the walls, or the supporting structure that is built upon the base.
If these walls don't have the right support they will fall down.
Likewise if your roof doesn't have enough walls or supporting structures, your building will collapse and crumble into pieces.
Therefore, it is up to the architect to constantly change and revise his or hers plans; for no structure is perfect at the first take.
