mithenAre you more of a drabble or a longfic kind of writer? Pantser or plotter? Do you wish you were the other?
Actually not really either? I'm not concise enough for drabbles a lot of the time, and I lack the stamina for novel-length, so I tend to clock in between 3,000-5,000 words--typical short story length, on the whole! I like the structure of a short story, usually. And I tend to be a plotter rather than winging it, usually (though trusting my instincts sometimes is important!) The fic I'm poking tentatively at I'm probably over-plotting right now (I'm doing too much research) and should probably dive right in...
What length is your current WiP looking to end up at?
