Ask the Author
poll:
Stephen King says, "Plot is, I think, the good writer's last resort and the dullard's first choice. The story which results from it is apt to feel artificial and labored."
He might've been talking about plot driven stories and not personal writing techniques, but it leads to a good question that is neat to find out about other writers.
Are you a plotter, pantser, or plantser?
Plotter: someone who plans out their novel before they write it.
Pantser: someone who doesn't plot or plots very little and writes "by the seat of their pants."
Plantser: someone who combines both techniques.
