Okay, so I Know How I Write, Now What?

Geez, patience grasshopper :-).

Last week I wrote about the type of writer you are - Plotter or Pantser. This matters because you'll want to fashion your writing schedule to fit your style. I talked a bit about that in this video and this blog post. Check 'em out if you missed them before.

Plotters need to put ample time to "plot it out" at the onset of their production schedule. For example, if they want to release their book on Christmas of this year. That's six months from now. In order to meet that deadline, they're going to have work pretty quickly. That means plotting has to happen for so many minutes or hours over so many days so they can get to the actual writing fairly quickly.
