I find that I'm leaning more toward being a plotter than a panster. However, I usually start plotting then I start writing and then go back and forth.
To the writers that are all plotters. Do you plot the whole story/novel out before you even begin writing or not?
I think I'm afraid that if I would try to plot the whole thing from start to finish before I started to write, I would never write.
I find that I just have an awful time trying to bring the whole thing together. Does this get easier as you get more experience writing? I've only been writing for around 4 months.
Maybe I need to be reading more than writing right now, yes?
Also, another characteristic I'm seeing myself develop is I feel I can never come up with an original overall plot for a story. I have to find it on a forum or in a 'idea' book or wherever. This bothers me, should it? Or am I making a mountain out of a molehill?
