I felt that corollary to writing planning processes maybe intuitive writers, sometimes called pantsers and other labels, might discuss organization strategies that arise while draft or revision writing. One I've seen and used in my writing is the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief, for example. The writers who I've seen use it as an organizing principle didn't realize it until it was pointed out. The lightbulb thingy flared very bright then.

Another intuitive organization principle I've seen more commonly is subconsciously emulating a myth, legend, folktale, or priorly published narrative or film, etc. When pointed out the parallels--again with the lightbulb thingy.

Do you consciously use any organizing features when intuitively writing? Which ones, please? Or otherwise, how do you organize writing intuitively so a story is accessible by readers?

There is only one story retold endlessly, it has been said.

It is the story of becoming.
Something happens to someone that results in a change.

Everything else is commentary, paraphrasing Rabbi Hillel.
