Pantsers fly by the seats of their pants: they write and see where it takes them. Planners, well, plan before they write<\/a> \u2026 There is evidence that when readers read stories, they identify with the characters and do much the same thing. It may be the case that pantsers engage in this kind of imaginative and empathic recreation when they tell stories, which is precisely why they cannot plan. They have to tell the story in order to know its contours and structure. They have to place themselves in the minds of the characters and then simulate what the characters do \u2026 These writers work by faith that their emotions channel into words a latent object which will later prove to possess a structure.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Stop me if you\u2019ve heard this one before\u2014a well-known American novelist sits down for an interview, and he says, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/arts\/interrogation\/2016\/07\/a_conversation_with_novelist_jonathan_franzen.html\" target=\"_blank\">I don\u2019t have very many black friends.

I feel like if I had, I might dare [to write about race] \u2026 I feel it\u2019s really dangerous, if you are a liberal white American, to presume that your good intentions are enough to embark on a work of imagination about black America. I am particularly vigilant there. I have thought about it\u2014you know, race is big in America.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When Lucia Berlin died in 2004, she left behind the makings of a memoir, including a long story about traveling through Mexico with Buddy Berlin, a saxophonist with a heroin problem: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/memories-of-mexico?intcid=mod-latest\" target=\"_blank\">First, Peggy sent a little box with a dozen vials of pure morphine. \u2018A little something for Bud.\u2019<\/a> Peggy lived alone in a fabulous house on top of the hill. She spent much of her day looking through a powerful telescope, checking the beach for arrivals of famous people to invite up to her house, checking out everything else going on. She must have seen the boys playing soccer with village boys, riding horseback on the beach, going upriver with Juanito to help his father pick coffee. She must have seen them racing canoes, heard their laughter echoing above the water. She must have seen us talking with friends in our beautiful garden, lying on the beach. She must have seen Buddy and me kiss, must have seen us happy.

But things are different now, and this year the fans have demanded to be heard. As Elizabeth Minkel writes, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/2016\/07\/myth-entitled-fan\" target=\"_blank\">For the past few months, people have been debating whether fandom is \u2018broken\u2019<\/a> \u2026 Fans have always talked back, but prior to social media they weren\u2019t even a fraction as visible as they are today. We\u2019re witnessing the destruction of the fannish fourth wall in real-time: fans and creators are now seeing each other clearly on a massive scale, and creators are unsure how to\u2014or if they even should\u2014listen to fans.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in age-old arguments about the creative life: \u201cIn some annexes of the writing community it\u2019s been playfully termed the \u2018pantsing vs. plotting\/outlining\/planning\u2019 debate.
