I think what he means is don't start with a huge plan and write every bit (from the beginning) as you would in the final finished verbose version - you're very likely to get bored too soon doing it that way (and may find that huge revisions are necessary). ..Though the way you're going to do it sounds more like the way James Chow (SCEE) has set about it - and he's fairly far.
