While I'm a proud pantser writer (I write 'by the seam of my pants,' having no idea where anything's going, for those of you who aren't part of the heated pantser vs planner debate), I'm learning that attempting to be a pantser in the rest of your life is a bit...well, difficult. You can't just randomly pop into the dentist's, most of the time, or expect the money to pay your school loans (ugh) to just fall in your lap. Life doesn't come with built-in, useful plot devices. At least, not when you need them. Wouldn't that be something, though? Just at the moment you need it, some rare spell shows up, or you find a magic sword.
So! All you planners out there: are you planners in real life, too? Or just in your writing? Any tips for a floundering pantser?
