I need a row/column for “literally created a database to track and show decisions relevant to this scene” 😅 (executive dysfunction and a love of complexity are, uh, interesting cohabitants)
Neutral Pantser with a bunch of chaotic thrown in from time to time.
I'd say I vary between Lawful Pantser and Lawful Plantser. Just to keep it interesting.
Shuffling between True Plantser and Lawful Pantser
Mostly chaotic plotter. I have several scenes that I know need to happen, and the ending is firmly in place, but for a lot of the chapters I can rearrange them for better flow later. Also, if I am ever stuck, I just take a couple of the characters, place them in the setting, and see what happens.
Neutral Plotter or True Plantser. A lot of my ideas for this particular WIP have emerged as I wrote.
I definitely chill in the L shaped block on the bottom right. I love making outlines and knowing what I’m doing with the story but if I did that all the time I’d miss the fun of seeing what the characters want to do. And it’s more effort to redo outlines than wrangle plot around characters.
Neutral plotter for sure
I'm a chaotic plantser for the first draft, and then I evolve into a neutral plotter.
Lawful pantser, much to my surprise.
