Plotter or Pantser?

Post by restcity » May 30th, 2022, 10:38 am

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.

As you can probably see, I completely agree with your viewpoint. However, Plotter is also an excellent candidate who only has to be enticed capybara clicker

These are ideas that come from impulsively, but fortunately, they attract people. The important thing is that death run 3d content is very good.

"Plotter" and "pantser" are terms often used in the writing community to describe two different approaches to writing:

A "plotter" is someone who plans out their story in advance, creating an outline, character profiles, and detailed plot points before they begin writing. This approach can be helpful for writers who like to have a roadmap for their story and who want to avoid writer's block.

A "pantser," on the other hand, is someone who writes "by the seat of their pants," without a detailed plan or outline. They may have a general idea of where their story is going, but they prefer to discover the story as they write it. This approach can be helpful for writers who thrive on spontaneity and creativity and who enjoy the discovery process of writing.

There is no right or wrong approach to writing, and some writers may even use a combination of both methods. It's important to find what works best for you and your writing style. Some writers find that planning their story in advance helps them stay focused and avoid writer's block, while others prefer the freedom and spontaneity of discovery writing.

Choosing between being a plotter or pantser is a personal preference. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, and writers should use whichever method suits their needs best to achieve their writing goals.

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.”
