Quotation: Are You a Plotter or a Pantser?

“Like many writers I know, I do not (so far) outline my work in advance. I begin a novel with a destination in mind but the route is vague. Any attempt to map the journey will, I worry, render the unwritten pages artificial and ridiculous.”
— Margot Livesey, The Hidden Machinery: Essays on Writing (p. 138)
