Part 2/7:
Plotters meticulously outline their stories, knowing each character's motives, backgrounds, and the overall plot trajectory before they even begin writing.
Pantsers, on the other hand, operate on spontaneity and instinct, writing without a concrete plan. They allow the story to unfold organically, as King does. For example, he begins with a simple scenario—like children lost in the woods—and lets the narrative lead him, often arriving at unexpected places.
King's approach is fluid and organic; he favors spontaneity over rigid planning. This method allows him to produce novels at an incredible pace and explore paths in the story he may not have anticipated.
