I tried outlining my last work though and I have to admit, I'm still getting stuck. Oh well, I guess I'm a believer in writing as you go. Problem is it makes for ton of editing at the end.Cynthia DiFilippo Elomaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690665731154250664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-35665189214048961552011-10-12T09:28:09.939-04:002011-10-12T09:28:09.939-04:00I think all books have got to be 'pantsed'...I think all books have got to be 'pantsed' in some aspect.

I like it (and I don't hate the Red Wings; I enjoy and admire the way they play, to be honest with you).<br /><br />Jennifer--I'm considering trying to be more structured in whatever my next project is. I think it's good to try different approaches, though it can be hard to break out of old molds and patterns.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-21173360087117980552011-10-11T12:26:13.143-04:002011-10-11T12:26:13.143-04:00I agree - I loathe the sound of the term "pan...I agree - I loathe the sound of the term "pantser." I typically write in this fashion, though. I'm trying out a more structured approach for my 2nd novel, but I'm finding that it is actually stressing me out.

That sounds too much like Wings, as in Red Wings. Ugh.
