Pantser seems technically correct but pantster sounds better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568940271252821814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694222619047441202.post-60943592257846903832012-11-12T11:54:47.899-08:002012-11-12T11:54:47.899-08:00The worst for me is having characters do their own...The worst for me is having characters do their own thing during the rewrite. This is the sole reason that it's taken me so long to get through the second draft of my novel.

Sometimes the words don't want to come no matter what I do. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111212491987393873noreply@blogger.com
