Yeah, two hours of nonproductivity every day before she can get things going sounds... weird. I don't even make outlines most of the time, but I have a plan of where I'm going overall and a distinct idea of what the next couple of scenes are going to be. I've certainly had days where I stare at the screen and nothing happens, but usually fifteen minutes or so is enough to get going. I'd say whatever works for her, everyone's different, but it doesn't work for her -- her writing is terrible and she complains about it constantly.
