That's a good question... I already had a sense of the difference in editing vs writing, which is what's behind the outline blitz. I learned that the story is enough, very slowly, whilst writing, but also with some hints from Stephen King, his book On Writing. Lots of his advice rubbed off on me. The patient tending I already had a sense of from previous struggles in writing!
Interesting to see your process, Dan! What elements of this process already existed in your mind, versus those that you only realised on reflection?
