Plotter or Pantser?

[restcity]

I think everyone here knows what a plotter/pantser is, so I'll just get straight to the answer of my own question.

I am a plotter no doubt. I write exactly where my story is going and how it will begin, continue, and end all before the real first draft is written.

But for my first Published book, Imagination, I was totally a pantser! When I was writing and drawing the Children's book, I wrote and drew whatever popped into my head at the moment, with only the solid idea of what the book was about in my head.

So, are you a pantser or a plotter?

Definitely a Pantser. My story just sort of evolved. Sometimes the plot twisted in ways that even surprised me.

Ah yes, I agree

You see, I’m both. Sometimes, I plan my writing projects but also find myself winging it, and sometimes I purely “write by the seat of my pants.”

I'm a plotter for sure! I find that having a clear outline of my story helps me stay focused and ensures that I hit all the key plot points I want to cover. Knowing the beginning, middle, and end in advance makes the writing process smoother for me,geometry dash and I can spend more time developing my characters and the world they inhabit.

That said, I do admire the spontaneity and creativity that comes with being a pantser. It's fascinating how different methods can work for different projects or stages in a writer's journey. For my children's book, "Imagination," I embraced the pantser approach, letting the ideas flow freely and seeing where they took me. It was a liberating experience and led to some unexpected and delightful outcomes.
