Do you know what a “pantser” is? It’s an author who writes by the seat of their pants, meaning without detailed outlines. I’ve always been a pantser. Going in, the basic plot lives in my mind, and I have a strong sense of the main characters, but I allow my intuition and creativity to guide the unfolding story. Sometimes that involves surprising turns. Recently, a new character arose with an enticing plot point that shifted my direction and expanded my vision for the novel. I’m so excited to be writing this new aspect of the story. Welcome to The Michael Saga, Kamalani! This photo (purchased from iStock) looks a lot like how I imagine him. He’s a singer-songwriter and musician from Hawaii whose voice awakens listeners to the truth of their souls!
Some famous pantsers include Stephen King, Diana Gabaldon, George R.R. Martin, Margaret Atwood, Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain.
