Hi Everyone! I hope this is a good place to put a question like this.
I've been planning a longer-form story (even longer than some of my recent posted works in chapter length) for some time now, and it made me question how everyone else plans for stories.
Let me ask, how do you like to plan? This can apply to any form of writing!
I do a little bit of both, personally. I have a general idea for how the plot is going to go (sometimes a twist to unveil later ). I'll begin writing and see where things go. I've made some of my favorite works of my own via this method. On the other hand, I may plan almost every detail before I jump into writing, and sometimes I will add additional content if I feel like it is needed. This means I'll have two tabs open at once, one for writing, and another with my plans for scenes and such on another.
I'm curious how everyone approaches this? Do you make character profiles, outlines on how prose will go, or do you just go with your gut?
