How do authors write their novels? I’ve included some examples. Who are plotters and who are pantsers?
Katherine Anne Porter said, “If I didn’t know the ending of a story, I wouldn’t begin…I always write my last line, my last paragraphs, my last page first.”
“I start at the beginning, go on to the end, and then stop.” Anthony Burgess
Vladimir Nabokov used index cards to lay out the story, then he expanded and rearranged the cards before he started writing the novel.
