Caleb and Linda Pirtle came back to Tyler to have an epic battle between a Plotter (Linda) and a Pantser (Caleb). Here are some highlights from the meeting:
Linda told us all her secrets to Plotting a Novel, including the best one “Where do you want to go on vacation?” She also showed us her Story Bible and gave us a handout on how she writes Character Resumes.
Caleb spoke to us about being a Pantser. He just sits with a cup of coffee and a character and writes.
At the end of the meeting, our president, Mike Wigington, announced that he was stepping down as president, after a two and a half year term, at the end of the year. Current ETWG Secretary, Lisa Holcomb, will be stepping up to lead the ETWG starting in January 2022.
