Ah yes, the universal writing question: Plotter or Pantser? . I am that weird sort that falls between the two - aka a Plantser. I do my best to fully outline a story, but then sometimes my characters take over and go off the rails. This happens frequently with my minor characters. I often have them in just a few scenes, but then their voice(s) comes to me so clearly that they usually get more time on the page. For instance, Sean and Michael in Across a Broken Shore were supposed to only show up a few times. But each time they appeared, they had so much more to add to the story, and Willa’s life, that I had to give them more face time. . What about you? Plotter? Pantser? Or Plantser? Also, do you use a craft method to create an outline if you’re a plotter? Would love to hear in the comments! . . . #asummerinwriting #plotter #pantser #plantser #bookoutline #writingcraft #writingtip #storycraft #writingcraftbooks #writercommunity #writers_den_ #writersden #writersclub #writelife #authorsonig #authorsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6K6p0gzgQ/?igshid=buqdzjng1d0l
