The how much for me depends on the book. Some are plotted more than others. The less plotting, the more editing … usually. That also depends on how quickly the words go down. 😉

When I was a pantser it took me about ten times as long to finish a first draft than it does now! And now I plan so much that my outlines turn into first drafts at about 20k words or more. But it helps a lot because I’m in a writing mood more often than a planning mood, so with a detailed outline I don’t moan and groan about not knowing what should happen next. But even with such detailed outlines, I do change things as I go. So on a 1 to 10 scale with 1 being a pantser and 10 being a planner, I’d say I’m about a 7.5, haha.

Thanks for the great blog post!!
