Usually ends up somewhere I wouldn't expect and often needs tweaking but I have found I can never stick to a plan :)<br /><br />Thanks for the post!Grillyfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910638116963555132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-40281623114693370112011-05-25T14:35:40.447-04:002011-05-25T14:35:40.447-04:00Angeline, I agree that it is exciting to see where...Angeline, I agree that it is exciting to see where the story ends up (even when I do spend a day or two to plan it ahead of time).<br /><br />Catherine, My planning is always in the form of random scribbles.<br /><br />Maeve, Thanks!<br /><br />Alison, You go, girl. I'm jealous; I just have to plan a little, even if it's vague.<br /><br />Corey, I agree that writing in rhyme is a different kind of challenge. I can't plan by doing prose first either, but I still do a bit of scribble planning. The rhyme always takes me to unplanned places. That's the joy of writing, to have the flexibility to stray from the plan.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-2133316287365471672011-05-24T09:25:27.210-04:002011-05-24T09:25:27.210-04:00Well, I write in rhyme, and a lot of people (inclu...Well, I write in rhyme, and a lot of people (including my agent) would say "write in prose first." But that just doesn't work for me. I know rhyme isn't supposed to "drive" the story, but sometimes it does take me places that i couldnt' have planned.Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-9318858112226314002011-05-24T07:44:40.495-04:002011-05-24T07:44:40.495-04:00I'm a pantser.

After a certain point the characters just take over and the story often changes so significantly that my month of planning goes to waste.<br />I set off with a vague idea of where I'm going and see what happens. I find it more exciting that way.Spanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893837904669368614noreply@blogger.com
