Description

A workshop for intuitive writers - or those who want to be.

Tried to outline but don't get further than the first three chapters? Do you feel pantser shame or secretly think planning MUST be easier? Or are you a newbie still finding your way? Then this workshop is for you. We'll take a glimpse into the writing processes of superstar pantsers; explore the myths, the pros (and cons) of this process, and learn practical tips to help you embrace your inner pantser without losing your mind.

 

Learning outcomes

  • Understand the difference between plotting and pantsing.
  • Show how pantsing can benefit and enhance your writing process.
  • Give organic writers the courage to embrace their process.
  • Provide strategies for successfully pantsing a novel from idea to submissions.
