Resources
I'm a pantser π« and this trait has not served me well because I have yet to finish a single draft π
Normally I get an idea and percolate on it until I see the whole thing in my head like a movie, and then I start writing. Somewhere around the middle, I run out of steam, even when I know exactly what's going to happen.
I have no formal education in creative writing. I've done a bit of research into character arcs and story structure and stuff like that but there's so many resources out there and I find it all very baffling. For example, one worksheet asked me how I wanted my readers to feel and the only answer I could think of was, "Entertained." π
I've heard of the Save The Cat! book and I'm interested to hear if anyone has found this useful, or if there's other methods or resources that might help me actually finish my book.
Thank you in advance ππ»
