ARE YOU A PLOTTER OR A PANTSTER?
In other words, do you carefully create an outline to write by before you type the first word? Or do you just sit down at the keyboard and start pecking away? Please leave a comment and tell us what works for you. We'd love to hear about your style and your reasons for choosing to work that way.
And by the way, in case you didn't notice that award to the right, Deirdra Eden-Coppel gave me that. She has a great blog. You should click on her name above and visit her.
Your turn. Plotter? Pantser?

Hi, Michael,
I love your blog. As a writer, I make an outline of a story I want to write, then I sit down and begin my story. It weaves here and there with edits and changes for the next few months!
Have a good day! :-) Alice
Thanks, Alice, for telling us how you work. My procedure is to come up with a general idea of the plot and then start writing. I don't outline any more. I used to, but that seemed to confining. By the time my characters start talking to me, they start taking the story in whatever direction they wish. I just try to keep up and type it all out as we go.
Hi, and thanks for sharing how you work. My characters "talk" to me as I start writing and,yes, mine do take me in directions that I never would have created otherwise. Amazing, isn't it!
Take care, Alice D.
