It was all those late nights I guess. As for you being a panster; I think you just need to give yourself permission to be a panster, that's what you are. If you think you have all the character sheet stuff done, wait until you character tell you who they are as the story develops. That's when a panster find out. I'm a panster too and when I force myself to do the character sheet thing and plot out my story, I get bored. There is nothing worse than a bored writer. I've made my peace with being a panster and I like it. It's what I do. Janice~ I too did the nano and finished, it always a rush to finish, but this year I please but tired.

I’m a panster too and when I force myself to do the character sheet thing and plot out my story, I get bored. There is nothing worse than a bored writer.

I’ve made my peace with being a panster and I like it. It’s what I do.

And I think pantsing is much more uninhibited when you're trying to get a story down. Would love to read the Nano story too. D Well done Jane!
