‘Tis the season

I’ve called myself a pantster, as in writing by the seat of my pants. These last few days of trying to write I found the need to write down(as in outline) the next scenes.  I found myself planning what would be the next scene. I realize that I am repeating myself, but this has been a big help in getting pages written, and I’m agog at my progress. What I’ve done, out of necessity, is become a combination pantster-outliner. Whether or not this works for the rest of the novel remains to be seen, but right now I’m feeling hopeful.
