Ways of Writing (012)

Pantser? Plotter? How DO you write, anyway? In this episode I meander around the different approaches to how a writer can write, and talk some about why it’s important AND why it’s not important. After a long introduction talking about how I was sick with a cold and full up with chicken soup, I get to the meat of it: explaining the difference between pantsing and plotting/outlining and how knowing your preferences is more important than hewing to any instructions on how you “should” do it. We all hate that word “should”, don’t we? Good.

I have to apologize a little for this podcast, since it’s pretty clear to me now that I was doped up on cold meds when I recorded it, and so it is a bit rambly. I also introduce it as episode eleven, not twelve. Listen, y’all, that was a rough week for me! <3
