Now I write whatever characters tell me to write. I'm like a court stenographer while writing. I only write what I'm told to. LOL But that cover is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm similar to Samantha -- very analytical and orderly in everything else, but complete chaos when I write. I think I fought so hard against being a pantser for that reason, thinking I could impose control on this corner of my brain, too. Now I just let it do what it likes, which tends to mean skipping here and there from scene to scene. But I love editing, because it gives my analytical side a chance to play. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807776214084673459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143855433750825528.post-46404165625052026032013-07-08T15:01:10.444-07:002013-07-08T15:01:10.444-07:00Thanks, Tera -- glad to have you in the chaos club...Thanks, Tera -- glad to have you in the chaos club, LOL.

I started out my latest book determined that I might make life easier on myself and write in order but that was quickly forgotten. It's funny because I am very anal in my daily life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143855433750825528.post-17758823262126011192013-07-08T13:23:59.009-07:002013-07-08T13:23:59.009-07:00Great post M.Q.!

I have to admit I am a very different writer in that I DO use character charts and even an outline, but I'm a bit anal that way LOL or just the way I can organize things in my head - too busy with so many other things that when I do sit down, I have found that I lose who my characters are or what the plot is, if I don't have at least some idea. But I think I'd like to try being a pantser at one point, just see if perhaps I churn out something better! <br />Your book looks awesome! Very sexy, ma dear! All the best xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555762333955435029noreply@blogger.com
