    Plotting vs. Pantsing – Exploring Different Approaches to Story Planning

    A Year of Writing s.02e.03When it comes to crafting compelling narratives, writers often find themselves at a crossroads: should they plot out every detail of their story beforehand? Or should they embrace the spontaneity of "pantsing," or writing by the seat of their pants?

Plotting and pantsing are also known as the writer being an architect or a gardener. 🖥️ Website: https://blackdiary.se/ 🌇 https://www.instagram.com/blackdiary.se 🎧 A Year of Writing Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS3a9r2EI8M&list=PLm54pk5o9UIbHA_SZLrjpZ_rqbG_B7pGp&index=1&t=0s 🎙️The Podcast on other platforms https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a-year-of-writing
