That feeling when you're writing page 316 and you can start to see how your book might end, what has been a blur is beginning to come into focus. So exciting! #Pantser #NoPlotting #AmWriting #WingingIt

A2 #WomenWritersNet I do think this 'might' be harder for the #pantser! But then again, that lightbulb moment when a (new) character does something to move the plot on - the magic moment, worth the messiness!

Writing Themes vs Tropes Vs Plots - MJ Blehart - Author Writing as an amateur or pro, while it’s good to know a theme vs a trope vs a plot, that knowledge is not what makes a writer a writer.

Today, I’m exploring some of the elements that go into fiction writing.

Writers often feel pressured to choose one “correct” process, but the truth is that every story—and every writer—works a little differently.

Take a look, see which statements resonate, and let me know—are you a plotter, a pantser, or a proud hybrid?

Some are likeable, some defin. hatable. They're not planned before and develop as the stories unfold. Two examples:
The epitome of a womanizer. Flirting with every woman crossing his way, even his son's future LI, who punched him cent. ago in the face for repeatedly cheating on his mom. 1/3

plotter or a pantser? it is said there are two kinds of writers: plotters and pantsers. if you’re new to writing and wondering what does that mean, then let me explain.plotters map out the entire outline of their book. …

are you a pantser or a plotter? do you even know what this means or where you fit in it all?

Thank you. I think I fell victim to some #magicalthinking - that I would sit down and my inner #writer would create 3000 perfect words that pulled everything together. Instead, down another rabbit hole I went. The joys of being a #pantser (the next books already have plans!!)

As I get to the end of my debut novel, I've been stressing about what's next (as you do). This morning in 30 mins, an idea hit me like a bolt out of the blue and I sketched The Book Boyfriend (working title) out. OMG!! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookOutlining #TheBookBoyfriend #Romance #Pantser

I once started a manuscript w/ a loose premise, a vague idea of the villain, & a competitive nature that would not let me fail to get 50k words in a month. I got there, with multiple versions of a few scenes, but I hit 50k 😅

The Overworld from the Sigils books by Rebecca E. Reyes.

This is not canon! It's a concept.

The core of the world is an old god corpse encrusted with their fossilized flesh.

Then a molten core surrounds the old god, with it's own outer rim.

The mantle is much like Earth's, except it's upper crust is infused with old god blood, otherwise known as mana in the books.

Then there's a secondary mantle that's less magic powered. Humans and most life live on its crust.

Within pockets that go as deep as the outer core are mana veins, some reaching towards the surface of the world.

This is not at all shown in my books yet and is not canonical until I say it is.

...be found in nature too, like oil deposits. This is also dangerous, as we see in Sigils of Blight.

Now, what is it and how did it form? I'll get back to you on that. I had an idea a while back, but I'm not sure I'm sticking to it. #Pantser

Yes, that's MS paint.

Thank you! 💜 It was necessary! I'm a stubborn #pantser but I got a couple of writing workshops for Christmas which showed me different ways of outlining that helped tremendously with figuring out my story!

A cartoon joke about my pantsing journey paraphrasing the classic line Samwise Gamgee utters in the Lord of the Rings films as he is about to travel further from home than ever before. In my version, Frodo, also a representation of me, is not putting up with his shit.

Three talking heads on a blank background, each with a speech bubble.

To plot or not?

Perfect Is The Enemy Of Good I finished a novel.

Did you know some writers are plotters and others are pantsers? I have a new blog post on my website that explains the difference, and tells why it took me years to write my latest mystery, Kill Fee.

I'm 25,447 words into my #NovNov story. Slow and steady.
I'm a natural #Pantser and this is the first time I have done serious research and planning.
I'm out of my comfort zone.
But I will do this.
I will press on.

Writing is hard 😭

Against my #pantser nature, I planned out my ENTIRE story this week and only started writing this morning (and I love what I came up with)!

Deadline is tomorrow night and I feel like I’ve got this. 💪 Who is this guy??
