Behind the scenes: I use a notebook just for random story sparks. Half of them are weird, but the best ones grow into full novels. Do you keep a story notebook?

My outlines are pretty vague though. It leaves room for improvisation without forgetting the whole point of the story.

Yeah, I do something similar too, but I still have to plot it...I can't control where my brain wants to go otherwise. Obviously, if it's something that will work in the story, I'll add it in. But it just keeps me on track.

Thanks! Yeah, it's so much easier starting with the character. All stories are built around people, even in real life. 😁

That’s a great approach... A lot of my clients are writers and many of them commission me for character illustrations during their plotting or outlining phase. It really helps them visualize how the character looks and what details they might want to add later

I have never been able to do the pantser thing. I go off on too many tangents and never get to the point. I think it's the ADHD! 🤣

My characters tend to simply evolve, like the pantser I am.

I know, right? 🤩
