Scale of 1-10 1=full on pantser; writes the first line with no idea what the story is 5=basic outline written down; may or may not be adhered to 10=every scene, every character detailed out in writing before the first word is ever written. Does not deviate. Where are you?
My least planned novel (the first one published, btw) is a 1. I had no idea what the story was, or who the character was when I wrote the first line. My most planned was only a 4. Had some ideas where the story was going, knew a little about the MCs, but nothing written down.
@love4writenword I don't suppose "all of the above" is an option?
@love4writenword 10.. but it’s a memoir that requires that level of detail.
I'm guessing there are very few 1s and 10s. Probably a lot of 1.5s and 9.5s
@love4writenword Nowhere. You've not allowed for people who develop ideas in their head but never use written outlines
