Charlaine Harris:
Are you a pantser or a plotter? How do you organize your ideas before you begin writing a novel?
Charlaine Harris
I am a pantser. I've tried outlining, but it felt artificial to me. I wish I did outline, very often. What's working best for me these days (and it's always evolving) is to have an overall view of where I want to go with the book, and then rely on the spur of the moment to fill in the rest.
