Also, I'm curious, do you find yourself pantstering or plotting these days? I used to be more of a pantster, but have become more of a plotter.... Verrrry curious. Let me hear it! And thanks for joining us revising!

Hi Meg - we all need encouragement! Thanks for the list of possible story sparks - you are right...sometimes taking a walk is how the muse will come to you.
I used to just sit down and write...but now that I've learned a bit more about the whole process, I think I plan a bit before...and during. And especially with non fiction picture books, because I'm researching a lot first. I revised one of my stories today...and did a couple of crit partners' stories as well. And started Julie Hedlund's new class. See you tomorrow. :)
I am planning on plotting when I am able to really get back to writing. My head is always planning and plotting and pantsing and probably prancing about.
I'm doing a little of both. It varies with the story. For a nonfiction, because I have all these facts, I've been plotting. For a fiction story, I just write and see where the idea takes me. And, tomorrow could be completely different.
I've always been a panster but after taking the Making Picture Book Magic course I'm trying to become a plotter. Either way, I need to focus on Revision! Thanks Meg for helping me to focus!
I'm a little of both. I'm trying my hand at nonfiction so I do have facts to help me plot. I worked on an ms today that was definitely pantster :) Thank you, Meg, for getting me back on track with older works.
I've been revising, but it's an adult short story. Still a pantser, but going to work on being a plotter when I get back to writing novels. :)
