I have found I finish easier and faster when that happens.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912154422388138869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-31025428933546486642010-11-14T12:16:54.536-06:002010-11-14T12:16:54.536-06:00I'm a pantster.

I rarely ever have any chapter set out before hand. I tend to think about things later. All my novels have begun by having a dream and then the rest just came.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048537842067868887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-71733467446114891642010-11-13T23:50:59.307-06:002010-11-13T23:50:59.307-06:00Definitely a Pantser.

But I never know where in the book that chapter will be. Sometimes I write a chapter I know will be in the middle or near the end, or near the beginning. Usually I write the opening chapter first, then the last chapter. The rest eventually figures out where it belongs, much to my surprise.June V.

I generally have a pretty good idea of who people are and where the story's going, both of which become more specific as I work my way through the first draft.Ann Elise Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282717249439524801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-76915081015872230172010-11-13T14:04:00.845-06:002010-11-13T14:04:00.845-06:00Pantser, through and through.

By day 3 of NaNo I was on 10K and hadn't gotten close to my story. So I tossed it all, started again and am now very happily just going where my characters want to go, which is often a very different place to where I expected them to go.Kate Larkindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202347563426692610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-49796199954253452862010-11-13T12:38:29.186-06:002010-11-13T12:38:29.186-06:00Pantser with a little plotter when a gun is at my ...Pantser with a little plotter when a gun is at my temple, deadline wise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046518516061193129noreply@blogger.com
