Rori I.
A lot of both?
I have the entire series figured out, way past Liana's part in the story. I know who goes where and even the key scenes. I have a timeline. Tables with character histories.
But I do not and never will have a strict outline. Working from a rule book has never been my thing, even if it is my own rule book! What I like to do is put my ideas down before they disappear, but they simply provide guidance.
Once I'm before the blank page, I go with whatever inspiration brings me, rather than some carefully structured plan.
That's just what works for me.
