Writing Would it make sense to use the stream-of-consciousness writing technique?

Hahaha...I 'wing' my table every other Wednesday for a D&D game. We even record them as podcast and everything...I have no idea what happened in episode 3, 12, 17, or 22 (now in episode 24+ I think)

hell I barely remember what happened in the previous episode...I think we were in the middle of a bunch of stealth checks that our monk just decided to YOLO, and the start of this next episode is with a CR 13-14 creature with my avg player level at 9
Had a DM in college whose prep time for an adventure of any length amounted to "fifteen minutes to draw a map, ten to write out one trap. up to half an hour looking up monster stats and making notes on strange abilities." Didn't matter if this would be a multi-session dungeon or a half-hour short trek, that was his level of prep. Sometimes he'd jot NPC or enemy names in the margin of said map. Nothing else. Most of the time it worked brilliantly, sometimes it failed epically, but it did teach me to rely far less on pre-planning than I had previously.
