I think of morally grey as not considering any sort of greater good/traditional moral compass when choosing actions or that they pursue their goals with absolute ruthlessness.
But... honestly... interested in seeing what others say.

💙 It's okay to write in my head. People underestimate what I can do while I'm doing something boring. Like dishes.
💜 Replenish, renew, refresh your inspiration often.
🩷 A series bible and a calendar are my two best tools for not having to do extensive edits.

I start with my characters. They tell me their names early in the process. And then they tell me the story. From that, I form an outline.
Unfortunately, they never stick to the outline and 9 times out of 10 my characters go rogue.

I’m seeing plenty of plotters and pantsers in the replies! Both methods have their benefits.
With my main characters I’m closer to a plotter, knowing the major beats at least before I start writing. This is due to the main character backstories always tying in with the larger plot.
