In this video I show how I, a self-proclaimed panster write my novels.
Showing you how if you want to be a writer than really all you need to do is write.
You can use just a pen and paper, it doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. I use online tools though it isn't necessary to have online tools. In fact, all a panster really needs is paper and pencil.
I have tried many a time to be a plotter and failed miserably. I do best just writing, and fitting my stories together, like sticking a pattern together... I have an idea for a story and the plot plays out in my mind. It runs like reel clips in my head, at night, when driving, when I should be thinking about other things. That is how my brain works. A good story sticks in my head and I add to it with random thoughts that push themselves to the forefront of my conscious. I like the dramatic sound of that!
I share how I use tasks to sort of outline or at least get scenes down as a task, so I remember to put it in my story. Now that I have stepped out and looked at my process from a different angle. I like it, no more trying to be a plotter like so many I have tried to emulate because they appear to be so organized and know what they are doing. I know what I'm doing, and I know what I'm writing. And so will you, it just takes some time to feel like you do in your own skin. And I personally believe it will come after writing a good amount. Your stories will start to become clearer, and they will pop out in your mind. For me this is how it works.
