Welcome to Our Blog

Welcome to the blog of the writing team Plotter and Pantster. For those of you who do not write, the terms bear defining. A Plotter has a plan, a goal, and an outline. She likely has a stylish bag to put it all in that matches her shoes. A Pantster flies by the seat of her pants and hopes for the best. Oddly enough, she may also have a stylish bag that matches her shoes. We combine these styles to write romance set in two very different worlds. We hope you'll take a look at our new website to learn a little more about us and the worlds we write in.

Meet Plotter. She made all the arrangements for our website and this blog. She wanted each of us to have five blogs written before we debuted to the world at large. I thought it would be better to just put hands to keyboard on blog day be surprised at the result. Of the two of us, Plotter has, by far, the harder job with her lists, flowcharts, and tables. She will blog every Monday and Thursday.

I would like to introduce you to Pantster. She is the reason our characters are so interesting and witty. While our creative styles may be very different, she manages to fuse our thoughts and ideas in the perfect way. Her great creative ideas bring our stories to life in a wonderfully charming way. And it doesn’t hurt one bit that she ALWAYS knows where to put the commas. Pantster has the harder job, with hours and hours spent at the computer talking back to the voices in her head. She will blog every Tuesday and Friday.

How do you approach your writing or your life in general? Are you a Plotter? Pantster? Mixture of the two? Tell us. There's a box of Godiva chocolates in it for somebody!

  7. Thank you so much for stopping by! I was afraid no one would, so I am really feeling the love. I hope you ALL get to go to Merritt and Lochmoor.
    Vicki, I'm sure you're right about who is who. It's not hard to figure, since she always has it together! PM, I'll make you some chicken and dumplings. The diner has my recipe. Thank you, Melanie. We love the website too and owe it all to Smarty Pants over on the Writing Playground. Lynn and Instigator--we love you. Nothing like a HOD girl!

    Love the colors of your website and the design. Merritt and Lochmoor rock!

    As far as pansting and plotting goes, I think I'm a panstott. Or is it a planster? :D

  11. LOL, LOVELY site! This is only the beginning for you both.

    And I love that you have defined your roles as Plotter/Pantser. I am a bit of both, but I have also termed it "The Drunken Squirrel" because of the meandering paths I end up on--and sometimes they make no sense.

    I hope to come by often to say hello! (I may stop by late, but I will get here!) :-)

    Congrats!

  12. Kathy and M.V.--Thanks! This is exciting.
    Check back tomorrow. I'll be blogging about things I swore I'd never do.

    Don't let the bed bugs bite--like anyone ever lets that happen
