No-Plot Plotting Methods for Desperate Pantsers

Live attendance is not required: enrollees can watch the recording at any time after the workshop!

You’ll often hear about fiction writers being divided into two warring factions: plotters (those who meticulously plan out their stories, beat by beat, before they begin), and pantsers (those who hit the page running and fly by the seat of their pants). While pantser storytelling can be organic, fresh, and powerful, it can also create problems along the way if you run into plot holes or don’t know where to go next.

In this workshop, we’ll explore three flexible, low-stress plotting methods to guide your story and help keep you on the right track. Together we’ll brainstorm new ideas, give direction to your works in progress, and build the foundation of a new story from the ground up. Whether you’re trying to gather momentum on a current project, or you’re looking for inspiration for something new, you’ll come away with actionable strategies and new confidence in your storytelling skills.
