4. Both lol. Some stuff I will research in depth and some is figure it out later.
5. I love music so I would rather build a Playlist but moodboards will always get done for pitching.
6. Name characters I can not write without their names.

1. It's kind of a mix of both it's one of the newer books of the series I've been working on for years.
2. I usually have an idea of a plot but characters also develop pretty early.
3. Mostly vibes as I'm a plantser too many details in the outline will bog down my writing.
