Arrrrrrrrrr!
Not only is my landlubbing boss away, so are the other two partners. This leaves only two boss-level people at work, and I don't work directly under either of them. *bg* Of course, the boss is going to be calling in every two hours to check on my progress, so I actually can't be as slack as I would like.
You're a PANTSER! A pantser writes without forethought to where the plot is going--sort of by the seat of her pants method. You're a free spirited, creative person. You write with passion about what inspires you at the moment, and you probably have a strong voice. Don't worry about writers block--you've a different story. You've got more story seeds than a hive has bees. When you write, it's in disjointed segments. You may write sequentially or in flashes of inspiration, where you connect all your flashes later. People might say you ramble a bit in your work. Your revision process might take several passes, because you really have to whip that first draft into a more marketable shape. Your novels either hit it big or miss. There's no in between. Readers either love you, or hate you. Learn to channel that creative energy into a masterpiece and well be seeing your name on the NYT Lists!

Well, apart from the idea of people either loving me or hating me, that's pretty true these days. I've got about 3-4 WiPs going on that I frequently get stuck on and I have idea for future snippets of dialogue (but have learnt from experience only to write it as a snippet, don't just take the scene from there because it's hell to write the missing bit in between). I also ramble like a long country road. *g*
Mind you, am I the only one who got images of me going around "pantsing" (pulling their trousers down to show their undies) the characters?
