Good afternoon fellow writers. I have a question for you today. Are you a plotter or are you a pantser? Every writer is different.

And this is why I don't tell many people I'm a creative writer. I had a teacher back in my freshman year of high school, and during an assignment, I mentioned that I wanted to be an author.
