Challenge
How do you go about the writing process?
How do you go about writing a story and/or poem? Do you plan out everything first or do you just let loose and write on the fly? I'm still getting used to writing my own stories and I'm curious about how other writers go about writing.
Pantsing
When I began with my first book, I jotted down a few ideas.
Then I started writing. By the time I got to chapter 5, the story had taken over, some of the ideas I'd had went right out of the window and I had no idea where the story was going until I got there.
I ended up using some of those discarded ideas in my second book but even then, they were changed and the book went where it wanted. As long as I remain logical, cause and effect, one event leading in a logical manner to the next...
Well, you get the idea.
