SamuelDaram | NaNoWriMo 2019: Pantsers Versus Outliners. What are you? @SamuelDaram | Uploaded November 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
NaNoWriMo 2019: It is that time of the year when thousands of writers from all around the world attempt to write a novel within a month. How do you write a novel within a month? What is the writing process like? Do you outline your novel before you write the first draft? Or, do you prefer to pants it? Are you a discovery writer? Or, an outliner?

George R.R. Martin observes that there are two schools of novelists: The Gardeners and the Architects. George R.R Martin considers himself a gardener while Dan Brown is an architect. Great novelist belong in both teams. But which will come out victorious?

In this video, I discuss the two schools of storytelling with a guest appearance by my creative partner Monica Rafiq.
