An Experiment in Pantsing: Introduction
I’m a plotter, through and through. The more I plot, the better my novel turns out. However, I want to experiment in pantsing. So today I started the fourth novel in The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy. With no outlining. With no character…ing. With no plotting.
Welcome to my experiment in pantsing.
Ready for this? It’s a blog series! And what’s weirder is that I just came up with it five seconds ago! Yay! I’M ABOUT TO COMMIT SUICIDE BUT THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD! 😛
What was the point of this post?! Nothing. There is no point to it. Why is there no point to it? Because there was no planning. HOW CAN THERE BE A POINT WITHOUT PLOT?

OOOHHH! =D Sounds crazy and awesome, Kellyn! Let the story lead ya. 😉
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I would not recommend pantsting, I am an expert pantster and I fail every time xD But best of luck to you!!
OOOOOOOO! Good luck!
Ha! You are so funny!
I have never heard of pantsing, but it sounds very… interesting. 😛 Can’t wait to read the rest of your series! 🙂
Haha, I wish you lots of luck! Pantsing is hard.
(Says the person who does a mishmash of pantsing/plotting because she’s too impatient to properly plot anything even though she needs it.)
I’m also pretty impatient to just start writing, which is why NaNo (a definite starting date) is the only time I actually write books … XD
Totally me…
Oooh, that sounds like fun! I hope it goes well…sometimes pantsing novels can turn out awesome. Other times…not as much.
Yeah, so far I have no definite direction … I mean, I have a loose idea of what I want, but …
I am definitely a plotter!
Haha, so am I! XD
Woo-hoo! Hurrah for Kellyn! (Yes, I’m a total panster…I can’t get ANYWHERE if I plot….)
BTW, Is this novel At her fingertips or after it?
It’s the one right after it. It’s called Beyond Her Calling at the moment.
Ooh, sounds good already even though I have no idea of what its about…
It’s still in the drafting stages and I have no idea where it’s going, but I know that Ivy is going to go to Scotland and do something like charity-work or working as a nurse or … something!
Cool!
