Planning, Plotting, & Pantsing
from The Second Chapter · host Andrew Hallman & Wendy Coffman
In which we discuss planning and plotting a new novel--which Wendy is presently doing--including plotting vs “pantsing,” Word vs Scrivener, external arcs vs internal arcs, single POV vs multiple POVs, first person vs third person, and whether our ideas tend to grow out of character, plot, setting, or something else entirely. There’s a lot to consider before starting out!
