How I do things doesn't come into it. <br /><br />Also, you've taken the 'Cant be bothered' comment out of context. It refers to a writer’s inability to outline – the very thing that saves themselves the headache of problems further down the track. So yes, if they can't be bothered, they shouldn't try to wing it. <br /><br />As for William Wolfe, I am not a fan of his work. But like all authors, he had an good editor who had to sit there and edit Wolfe's overly long rambling to make it digestible.<br /><br />Good writing, by the way, is borne of raw talent, skill and creativity. Editing simply makes it all shine.<br /><br /><br />AllWriteFictionAdvicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03381125356850555606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545724276587519907.post-53485233040152261772016-03-29T20:05:04.560+01:002016-03-29T20:05:04.560+01:00I'm not entirely in favor of either.

But when you say someone "CAN'T BE BOTHERED" to do it your way, that pretty much belittles anyone who doesn't agree with you.<br /><br />As for successful pantsers, I'd consider Thomas Wolfe a prime example. Good writing is more a function of excellent editing than rigid outlining.<br />Gifford MacShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578566471446994845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545724276587519907.post-73577925529720309752016-03-29T19:40:32.288+01:002016-03-29T19:40:32.288+01:00Firstly, the article does not represent my opinion...Firstly, the article does not represent my opinion, since opinions are neither right or wrong, however the writing problems I've presented have some basis in truth, since as an editor and someone who has worked in publishing, I've seen them time and again. They're very common, especially in new writers. <br /><br />To date, I have not yet seen a panster create quality work. Anyone who does would be a genius. Again, I can only go on 30+ years writing, editing and teaching this subject, as well as knowing many editors, writers and agents who have been in the business even longer, who all say the same - plan first, write later. My job here is to give the best advice for new writers to get ahead.<br /><br />There are no insults intended, but your defensive tone suggests you might lean towards this style of writing, which is fine - as I said in the article, there is no right or wrong; the writer can do as he pleases.

If it doesn't fit your style, that's fine. But to lump everyone else into the weak writing camp is not only invalid but insulting to them.Gifford MacShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578566471446994845noreply@blogger.com
