Are you a plotter or a pantser? The truth is, that's the wrong question. In this video, I'm breaking down why the plotter vs. pantser debate is a false dichotomy, the writing spectrum nobody talks about (from Architect to Gardener), and the one thing every writer needs to know before they start drafting...no matter where you fall.
