Awesome, Laura! My long-term critique partner is a bit of both a pantser and outliner. She feels more secure with an outline, but gives herself plenty of room to make changes. I LOVE learning how she and other outliner-pantsers work, their process. AND for each book, the process might change a little or a lot. So having the tools (outlining and pantsing/intuitive writing) readily available for when a novel just doesn’t want to be written is so helpful.
I’d love to hear how your writing is coming along!
