Throughout my writing career I’ve always been a pantser, basically making things up while I go along. However, last year when I was trying to get all those books completed I discovered that I could get them done more quickly if I did some minimal plotting in advance. I wouldn’t necessarily call it an outline, but essentially I do a scene list. Much like what they do for television shows. Then I write each scene. Then I link the scenes together with narrative. For my current WIP, Let’s Do It Again, it goes like this:
- Corset and handcuffs
- Anderson and Owen they’re so doing it
- Selling a house
- Colette, Helmut and the microfiche
- Aid and comfort
Obviously this list only makes sense to me, but I promise it’s not as random as it sounds. If there are any additional notes I need, bits of dialogue, plot points, funny ideas, I put those on stickies and add them as I go. Last night I was bouncing ideas off the hubby and as usual he came up will all kinds of funny. “Next time I get to be Miss Moneypenny.” (I swear this will make sense when you see the final book. I fell out of bed laughing so hard when he said it last night.) I keep stickies all over the house because I never know what will come to me and where. I also keep them in my bag. Some of my best ideas come to me while I’m in the shower, someday I’m going to invent waterproof stickies.

As long as your books continue to be as wonderful as they have been so far, you can become whatever you want.
