Every time I compare my un-plotted writing with to writing where I've worked out chapters, scenes, and a plot, the latter isn't anywhere near as good. It feels forced. I'm happy to read that being a pantser can work!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.elliegarratt.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ellie Garratt</a>Ellie Garratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731071128348213067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-30831418997401136002011-05-17T00:39:12.644+01:002011-05-17T00:39:12.644+01:00Hi Nicole.

Did that make sense?<br /><br />I can't imagine the difficulty in keeping three novels relevant and coherent, and interesting all at the same time. Yet, for one of my stories, that is my goal.
