Are you a pantser or a plotter? Do you just sit down and write the story as it comes to you? Or do you outline and plan and plot out your story in detail before you actually write it? OR...something in between? This week, we talk about the spectrum of plotting and pantsing, what works for us, and the benefits and drawbacks to each end of that spectrum.
Also: Josh recommends the 90s De Niro/Robin Williams film Awakenings, and Ira recommends the docu-series The Web of Make Believe on Netflix.
