At first, I thought I was a pantser writer. I started my book, bashed away at it, got to about 52,000 words and hit a wall. Spend the next 5 to 6 weeks trying to get my way forward and couldn't. I realised I simply didn't know where to take it next. I went back to the beginning and started working on my outline. Expanded the story, created new characters, made it deeper. Net result is a much more mature and refined narrative!

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

That's how we learn! I've had to do the same thing.

@PanHaszaman Месяц назад

Bro says he's a pantser, proceeds to explain his outlining method, sums it up with comment "because I'm such a pantser" I'm crying 🤣

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

lol, I don't follow my outlines. I just write them.

@PanHaszaman Месяц назад

@@SethRingWriteswhich is the exact process of a planner xD You write that shit just to throw the garbage out of your system and then write something completely new. That's the main difference between pantsers and planners. While pantsers write and throw away first draft, planners outline and throw their outline.

@PC-vp2cg Месяц назад

@@PanHaszaman This is just a ridiculous way of defining these terms. You are just describing two pantsers

"Not all ideas are good ideas" is so refreshing. I feel like outing is great but after the first discovery draft cause you actually something to work with it. Exploring ideas.

@user-uh6qc4tt4u Месяц назад

As an aspiring writer, i have accepted the offer that writing my first draft will super daunting, even though i faces writer paralysis. i began to use panster then i found myself writing up to 2000 words which was impossible for me to do. Thank you Seth 😊💯

glad its helpful!

@DigitalWorksBySujon-g6z Месяц назад

Sharing your entire writing process from start to finish is a fantastic idea! It's always enlightening for aspiring writers to see how successful authors approach their craft. Emphasizing the importance of having a plethora of ideas is a great start, as it showcases the creativity and groundwork necessary for writing. Mentioning your WorldCraft Club podcast and RU-vid channel as resources for worldbuilding is a perfect addition, inviting your audience to dive deeper into the intricacies of creating immersive settings. Keep up the excellent work!❤❤

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Absolutely!

@Gamerprodig3333 Месяц назад

Seth, you have the greatest writing ability for a litRPG author, making an absolutely OP mc and still challenge them and still making a compelling story for the reader. Looking forward to your stream on Monday 🎉🎉🎉

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Can't wait to get back to writing!

@marcusappelberg369 Месяц назад

As an author myself this was interesting. I also saw myself more as a pantser before I actually started outlining, and now I always outline. And then stuff hapoens that surprizes even me. 😅

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Finding the right balance between plotting and pantsing seems to be key.

@tingtaiji Месяц назад

This is sooo helpful. Just binged your series (partly because I’m procrastinating writing mine), and now I get some much needed assistance.

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Awesome!

@stephenlogsdon8266 Месяц назад

All ideas are bad ideas, if executed poorly. I also find the more I write, and I’m also a pantser, the more ideas come along.

@kengause9259 Месяц назад

My creative process begins with daydreaming, usually about the first scene and the major characters. Once I have that down and it feels like it has legs, I'm off to the races. For my first two novels (what started as a standalone and has now become two-thirds of a trilogy), I wrote something like a synopsis. I was able to do this because I knew how both would end-. Once the writing began, neither novel completely followed the outline. Discovery writing took over. My third novel (a true standalone) was written wholly in a discovery way. Each day before I started writing, I would go back over what I had written and filled in holes and even added chapters. I did not know how the book would end until I was halfway through the writing. Kind of like an epiphany. Once I had a first draft, I rewrote and rewrote, honing the text, smoothing out the pacing, building in some additional plot points. Truely let the story unfold on its own. So, if I have any sort of roadmap, it is at the 70-thousand-foot level. Writing at the ground level is done by the seat of my pants, feeling my way through a chapter, paying attention to events unfolding and where my characters want to go. It is more instinctual than intellectual. After a chapter is finished, I often take a break for more daydreaming and cogitating on where to go next. After a day or two, I'm back at it. By the final third of the book, I can begin to see the end and the writing pace speeds up.

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

I love discovery writing. There is something so satisfying about it.

@gingeworkshop Месяц назад

This video was extremely eye opening. I had a less specific outline (only bullet points) but I believe your method is far superior. Thanks for the idea :)

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Glad you found it helpful!

@WorkWisdomWonder Месяц назад

Seth! First, great to meet you at RM24. Second, this was awesome to see and hear your process. Also, if you do want to try another dev edit like you were saying, please reach out, I'd love to help!

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Great to meet you too! Its always nice to connect with fellow writers.

@AA18F Месяц назад

Great advice here Seth :) I try to do a lot of SPOOC's and see if they work :)

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Let me know if they do.

@stephenlogsdon8266 Месяц назад

I like multiple POVs, and I don’t write chapters, I write what these PoVs do. Later, once I’m done, I’ll stitch it together into an organized book with chapters,and sub-chapters. What’s great about this, I can write from a POV I’m in the mood to do.

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

That's facinating. I don't really like multiple PoV when reading, but I certainly see the attractiveness as a writer.

@stephenlogsdon8266 Месяц назад

@@SethRingWrites the other benefit is to the reader, which will help you sell books. If say, a reader doesn’t like all the POVs, or doesn’t like the single one you’ve written, they may like others’, and maybe they still like the book. Multiple POV’s also give you the option for cliff-hangers in the middle of the book. While I, personally don’t like them, since if I’m enjoying a book and since I’m invested already, I don’t need that feeble attempt at keeping me (as the reader) turning the pages. But I know other readers love them. It’s just another tool I use to manipulate the hell out of the reader. Cue up the evil laughing in the background!

@XxSEETH3RxX Месяц назад

Im not even sure I could write a book. I've written screenplays, but I have a few ideas that would fit more into a novel.

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

You should try it. I run writing sprints during the weekdays and you can write along with me.

@XxSEETH3RxX Месяц назад

@@SethRingWrites That sounds interesting. I'll certainly give it a try.

@williamsampson4926 Месяц назад

I'm a pantser. I get a idea and I sit down and write it. I write 4000 word chapters and give them random names and then write down what I think is going to happen and then I just write. Hit 4000 words and then the next chapter and so on and so forth. Sure I can change the chapters and break them up later. I never know where the story is going to go or take me but it just does. If it's a romance or something like that then it's easier to know what is going to happen is easier. If it's sci fi or fantasy then I'm clueless

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Do you plot at all?

@williamsampson4926 Месяц назад

@@SethRingWrites well it's like I get an idea it's as if someone is whispering in my ear. So I come up with names for characters in Scrivner and the place that it takes place (takes a few minutes) then I sit down and write. I have no idea where I'm going it's as if someone guides the story so zero plotting. I can do a novel a month or so first draft but they tend to double in size when I do rewrites which I tend to not do to often do to weak grammer skills so on to the nex.

@jimmyrolls37 Месяц назад

I try to outline, I am awful at it. Back in high school drama, I was awful at lines. I was much better at improvising the general scene. It felt organic for me. My writing is much better when I think on a few snippets snd free write it from there, rather than sit down trying to perfectly produce a chapter based on am outline. Once I naturally tie the threads, it all comes together and I have a scene or chapter I am happy with to join the others. Then I move on. When I try to strictly outline, o find myself feeling stuck and bound, and I wind up restarting over snd over in circles. Plotting heavily works for many people. Not for all people. If you are a Panszer writer, don't fret. Just go with your flow

@@jimmyrolls37 I keep going over the story in my head all day and then I just have to write it down to get it out of my head lol :)

Hi Seth, do you do any series planning at all? Do you generally know how many books a series will have when you do that first 47 chapter sketch?

@SethRingWrites Месяц назад

Yes, I do. I'm always keeping in mind where I am in the series, and where the overall story flow is headed. In a way, I treat each book as a macro chapter in the overall story.
