Down the Rabbit Hole

Pantser - Guilty as Charged!

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"
Day 1787 November 7, 2018
Prompt: There are two kind of writers: plotters and pantsers. Plotters outline, planning their beginning, middle and ending. Pantsers don't write first drafts. They fly by the seat of their pants. Are you a plotter or a pantser?

I am by all accounts a pantser. I would love to have the organization and the discipline to be a plotter but I just do not possess either of those traits when it comes to my writing. When I have an idea, I tend to bust through it, writing in a great initial bursts for as long as I can. I do go back and edit my drafts but I do not usually change it or revise it in any meaningful way that would make it an official "first draft". It is something I feel I need to work on as a writer. I need to develop more discipline and take the time to plan out the pieces so that when I run out of steam, I have somewhere to pick up and go back to.
