My Writing Process

Posted on November 4, 2011November 12, 2011 by Katie Ganshert

This question is from Ms. Wendy Paine Miller. And okay, I didn’t get it under two minutes, like I wanted. But I talked as fast as I could!

For all you pantsers out there, get ready to cringe.

For you readers out there who have no idea what the words plotter or pantser mean, allow me to explain.

I’m a plotter. I plot out my story before I sit down to write the rough draft.

There are others out there who call themselves pantsers. They don’t plot before they sit down to write the rough draft. They wing it. Or, they write by the seat of their pants. And somehow they do not suffer from ulcers. It’s completely baffling.

If you have a question you’d like me to answer via vlog, please send them my way (either in the comments section or in an email). If you missed my previous vlogs and want to take a look, you can find them on my youtube channel.

The Tortoise or the Hare?

This question is from Eileen, who asks a very important question for writers seeking publication.

Sorry about the interruption midway through. I have a black lab and his hair gets everywhere. Even my lips!

Remember, people, it was the tortoise who beat the hare.

Come Inside, Have a Look

Posted on October 7, 2011November 6, 2011 by Katie Ganshert

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like transitioning from a writer without a contract to a writer with one, then come on in. I invite you to take a peek inside my head. It’s not as scary as this freeze-frame makes it look. I promise.

Thanks for the question Sherri! I assure you, your question was not off the wall. At least not to me.

If you have a question you’d like me to answer, please send it my way (either in the comments or via email). I’m having so much fun answering them! If you missed my previous vlogs, you can check them out on my youtube channel.
