Why I Write This Way

So they say there are two ways to write a book.

Another way is what a lot of people call the Panster method, or writing by the seat of one's pants, where the writer doesn't know what's going to happen.

I used to be a plotter. I knew from start to finish what was going to happen in my story, and I knew the ins and outs of every character...
