Forum:How do YOU make an AltHist?

I'm curious. How do other people here plan and produce their althists? Do you start out with your pages written up on a word processor and saved to the hard drive then uploaded, or do you write it all when you get round to creating the page on the wiki? Do you plan out every detail of your ATL in minutia before posting it up, or have a rough idea of what it's going to be like and work out the other points from there?

So far my strategy involves writing the whole page up on Microsoft Word, often in several different versions, then slowly piecing together different segments on the wiki. I also like to plan obsessively beforehand. But I'm sure other users here have their own strategies, and I'm sure it'll be interesting for all of us to see how we all produce our own Alts and if there is any correlation between what are thought of as the 'best' timelines and a particular strategy of making them.
