Question: I was asked if I write by the seat of my pants (pantser) or if I plot out my books (plotter).
Answer: I guess the best answer is both. Sometimes I have a rough outline of the plot and chapters, but most of the time I sit in front of the computer and write the words as they come. I do plan out my characters carefully though – they are like friends by the time I finish a story.
The book I’m currently writing, Lighthouses, Lobsters & Larceny I’ve outlined the chapters and know what I will happen, how it’ll take place and when. I’m still allowing my creativity take me where it leads – if I feel something isn’t working, I change it and go with a new idea.
