Just like with my writing, I am “pants-ing” my way through my first blog. I found a great quote that really goes along with that mentality.

“Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights. But you can make the whole trip that way.” E.L. Doctorow

I’m not sure how many of you out there are plotters versus pantsers with regard to writing, but that quote made me feel just a little bit better.

The reason why I even need this type of affirmation is because as a writer, the natural question that people ask me is: What’s your book about?”

“Uh, well . . .it’s about …”

I have the gist of it, but they are really just tent poles of ideas for major plot points. And my characters seem to take over from there. I’m thinking that there might be others like me out there. If so, please let me know!
