WRITER’S WORKSHOP: Writing by the Seat of your Pants

What’s a pantser? And why do so many authors talk about pantsing versus plotting? Lisa takes you through her writing process, what works for her and gets you testing it out for yourselves. From the germ of an idea through to editing your first draft and having fun doing it.
