Beautiful Books Part 2, The Writing Process

Image
It's time for another Beautiful Books post. This blog link-up is hosted by Cait at Paper Fury and Sky at Further Up and Further In . This month, the questions are focused on the writing process. Is the book turning out how you thought it would be, or is it defying your expectations? I would say it's turning out mostly as expected, but with fun twists and layers I hadn't expected (which is in itself something I'd hoped for/expected). What’s your first sentence (or paragraph)? "A grey existence can hardly be called living, no matter the busyness it may use as a mask." Are you a plotter or a pantser? Have you ever tried both methods and how did it turn out? I'm a bit of both. I tend to focus heavily on discovery writing (in first drafts especially), but I love a good outline, and almost any future drafts will be outlined several times as a tool to organize, edit, and revise what's already there
