The first time I heard of the term pantser, I imagined one of those rude people that will run up behind some unsuspecting person, grab their pants and pull them down to their ankles. Imagine my surprise to find out that I’M a pantser… and it has nothing to do with my skills at dropping drawers.
For the uninitiated, a pantser is someone who writes by the seat of their pants… they don’t plot anything out (okay, maybe minimally), they just go where the story takes them. We are the wanderers, the ones who will possibly follow the path for a short while, then trudge off into the underbrush, hacking and slashing our way through.
