I only do what I want to do (whenever I can get away with it).<br /><br />Linda--That's what I'm thinking. I hope it works.<br /><br />Lisa--I totally agree. Having the luxury of wiggle room AND a way to organize or plan?

It was life changing in terms of helping to keep my plots on track. And the best thing is that as a pantser, it still works, because there is plenty of wriggle room for when characters go off the rails all by themselves.

I...i think a new method may be worth investigating. I am a pantser, but a planner method I might try.

After all, it's all writing. Whether you do a lot of planning at the front end or revising at the back end, it still comes down to a lot of writing. :-) Cathy C.

You may find that it's just what you needed, or that you are comfortable using a combination of planning and pantsing. Don't try to change for the sake of change. Do it because you WANT to explore that method.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.com
