Definitely pansters--well Janet is a planner, but I jumped ahead on things constantly, ha ha! We wrote TWINLESS without an outline, but did brainstorm the plot together. We ended up outlining as each chapter was finished, to find any plot holes and find timing issues. #writing #authorlife
If you're a panster and you think your structural edits would be so much lighter if you could plan first, let me put your mind at ease! It won't. I'm a massive planner and I just had to rewrite a very saggy 100page middle 😭

Yes, this! But still dreading that blank page!
