I am a pantser writer meaning I start with an opening and write from there. This can be a difficult way to write as I often don't know where the story is going more than about four paragraphs ahead of where I am at the moment.

I like the flexibility of writing for a few hours than going out for a run, and then returning to write some more. (less)
