I too mix things up from time to time, but I always come back to being a pantser! :-)<br /><br />Yvonne KohanoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531123958275170071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-16546911512831796912016-02-03T13:21:00.951-05:002016-02-03T13:21:00.951-05:00Agree with you and Jackie.

As in, decades! But you can teach an old dog new tricks, and I love the stuff that I write, whether it is plotted or pantsed. I actually took a 'vacation' from plotting for book five of one of my series, after plotting everything for the past couple of years. And yes, I can still do it. It can be delightfully messy, but I've cleaned up messes before!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217192664906748187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-21437351337415078452016-02-02T17:07:21.106-05:002016-02-02T17:07:21.106-05:00Cool post!

And now, I can barely write a paragraph without plotting out where it's going and how it's going to the story at large. While I normally don't try to go back to pantsing (the horror!), I do try different outlining techniques. The one that seems to fit is a color coded paper with all the plot points written on it.<br /><br />~K.A.C.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431543441334581991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-70779393728321712802016-02-02T11:37:05.102-05:002016-02-02T11:37:05.102-05:00Thanks, Yvonne.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be a plotter. And my attempts at plotting are resulting in zero writing. Doesn't make sense but there it is. I will work it out - have to. I need to write. Thanks for your insights and see you at GSRWA on Saturday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062608613785398161noreply@blogger.com
