We talk about pantsers and plotters. Who are Pantsers? What are Plotters? How does one collaborate with such people? Where do you fall on this spectrum?
Hear about how Chris pantses his characters and how Christy gardens her plots. Learn how writing his series moves Chris away from pantsing toward plotting and architecting.
Fact check for this episode: It was George RR Martin who mentioned “Gardeners” as a metaphor for a writing style as did tons of other folks on the internet. So who knows (or cares anymore) who originated the idea. Incidentally, he also mentioned the architect writing style that Chris talks about so it’s a liner note two-fer!
