As a plotter, I like to have a fairly clear through line for my story before I begin. I want to know where I'm ending. I used to even break the story down scene by scene (or what I imagined each beat would be at the time) in a reference document, but now I'm thinking I want to be a little more go-with-the-flow and let the story tell itself as I write. I've been feeling a little hemmed in by that process.

If you're a plotter, how far do you go before you begin writing? If you're a pantser, what does your process look like?? #amwriting #writersofmastodon #plotterorpantser
