And the pic of the guy with his pants hanging down cracked me up! I’m mostly pantser too. I see the value of an outline and I do use them…I just usually end up writing them as I write the story. I might start out writing down everything I can think of about the story into an outline, character profile, scene cards, etc but I can’t finish until I start writing the story itself. Then, I still feel perfectly free to deviate from the original ideas at anytime (well…sometimes I fight with myself LOL).

I just recently discovered Google docs too, when I joined a crit group. I love them! So easy to add comments and corrections.

So you know it’s called “pantsing”, eh? I’ll remember not to turn my back to you, just to be safe. LOL

Let me know how the pen and paper goes for you! So far, I’m thinking I might write all my first drafts this way.

Though it looks like a lot of work (and it is, don’t get me wrong) it’s really fun. I plan to talk more about it in the next few weeks. I can’t wait to hear more about your WIP!

I was just reading yesterday about how writing with actual pen and paper can drastically change the urge to edit while writing. Seeing how its working for you, maybe I’ll give it a try with my WIP 🙂
