Fellow pansters, if you get stuck, tab down to a new page and bullet point the highlights you want to reach and why you're stuck. That hole ain't as deep as it looks.

People love to talk about pansters vs. plotters like its some binary. But I'm very much in the middle. I will plot with the full knowledge the end story will look nothing like the outline.
I am basically trying to solve a constantly morphing puzzle.

My best advice is to plan because it really does help prevent it. However, since a lot of y'all are pansters, my second best advice is not to force it. If words aren't flowing, frustrating yourself by forcing it isn't going to help. Go for a walk and stop thinking about it.

Definitely pansters--well Janet is a planner, but I jumped ahead on things constantly, ha ha! We wrote TWINLESS without an outline, but did brainstorm the plot together. We ended up outlining as each chapter was finished, to find any plot holes and find timing issues. #writing #authorlife
If you're a panster and you think your structural edits would be so much lighter if you could plan first, let me put your mind at ease! It won't. I'm a massive planner and I just had to rewrite a very saggy 100page middle 😭

De machtsstrijd binnen het Sinaloakartel drijft Mexicanen de straat op
De machtsstrijd binnen het Sinaloakartel drijft Mexicanen de straat op
Inwoners van Culiacán, in Mexico, protesteerden tegen het aanhoudende geweld door rivaliserende facties van het Sinaloakartel. Volgens hoogleraar Wil Pansters raakt de bevolking steeds verder uitgeput.

De machtsstrijd binnen het Sinaloakartel drijft Mexicanen de straat op
Ruim 500 jaar na de kolonisatie in Mexico geeft de Spaanse koning de misstanden toe. De inheemse cultuur werd weggeveegd door de Spanjaarden. Mexico eiste excuses, maar die lijken nog ver weg, zegt Wil Pansters. 'Het gaat de Mexicanen naast menselijke en economische ook om culturele verwoestingen.'

"pansters" tend to write without outlines and a general idea of the story, while "plotters" typically create a chapter by chapter outline... I'm definitely trying to get into plotting though, less backtracking that way 😅

Gotta go with the other pansters. I start with a general idea of the theme, but my characters come up with something better along the way.
As an example, I thought my latest sci-fi story was all about an old lady beating up pirates, but it's really about what we give to the generations after us.

There's a time in most pansters' stories when they've set their project aside for a week or two, only to have the pieces fall into place later, and reveal a larger picture.
The mischievous laughter following these revelations is a sound protagonists should dread.

I don't believe in the binary aspect either; I think we're all on a spectrum.
That said, I liked the version I heard in the UK: gardeners or architects, over pansters and plotters.
