So in a creative writing class, we were introduced to the concept of planners vs pansters - planners wrote the outline of a story, created a structure etc and then start writing vs pansters who just jump into writing and let it flow. I feel I fall into the pansters category, in writing and in life both. And it would do me good to be a bit of a planner and also get a bird’s eye view before starting something. We may not always have other people to rely on for this. What do you think?
I feel in life you need to be a bit of a planner but when it comes to writing or creating art, and specially if one is just starting out, it is much more important to be a panster than a planner. 'Getting it done' is much more important than 'getting it right'. And you can only get it right once you start getting it done.
