Good morning Laura--Love the little bits of info, and now you've got me wondering just how many of Jessica's authors are pantsers. I'm trying to recall if I've seen a plotter among them.
Best of luck with your new release.
It's always interesting to find out a little about other writers. Congratulations on the book!
Hot Chocolate Lovers unite! :-)
Hi Laura,
That was fun and how did I know who one of your dinner partners would be.
;)
Why do they always leave out hot chocolate?
Elizabeth - and I'm the greedy one... I want coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and a hot apple cider drink they sell in powdered form.
Looking forward to Deadly Notions!
Whooo! Every time I meet another Pantster it makes me feel less and less like a naughty writer. Do you remember sitting in English class and being told to outline everything? Sometimes I think I'm a pantster just to be contrary and rebel against my 10th grade English teacher.
Congratulations on your book!
Thanks, everyone!
LOL Charlotte!! We must stand together!
Laurel, you might be on to something... ;)
I'm noticing there are more pantsers as well Kate. As a newbie, I feel safe with my outlined plot, but I am thinking of experimenting with just writing. We'll see what happens. Nice to meet you Laura.
