Do you always plan ahead? Or do you just plunge into it and hope it turns out the way you hoped?

In my day job, I have to plan all the time. Otherwise, my colleagues will:

1. Get mad
2. Ask someone else

And I don’t like either alternative, so I’m a notorious planner to the point of making the 2023 roster in July the year before (yeah, I know, they think I’m crazy sometimes.)

But when it comes to writing, I never plan. I just write. And then I rewrite, forget half of what I’m already written, and rewrite about four more times. Until a year later, I will probably rewrite it once more before publishing (now you probably realise why it takes me a full year to write another Mooncrest Pack book, lol).

Anyway, I’ve recently got a lot of good advice on how to outline my stories from this lovely lady: Jenna Moreci. So from now on, I’m actually going to plan before I write – wonder how that will work but it’s always useful to try something new, don’t you think?
