Should You Outline Your Book?

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

There are two types of writers. We call these two different groups of writers "pantsers" and "plotters" (You may call these something else, but we all fall into one of these two groups). Pansters do little to no planning. They have a general sense of where they are going, and they feel their way through the plot as they write. Plotters plot. In general, this second group does extensive planning. They develop scenes. They develop characters. They develop little intricacies of the plot, and they generally know exactly where their story is going to end. Should you pants? Should you plot? I think that one direction is superior to the other, and it is not without reason.
