Understanding your writing style is essential as it can greatly influence both your productivity and the pleasure you get from writing. When writers operate in a way that aligns with how their brains work, writing feels more natural and sustainable. That confidence shows in the work—and makes the writing habit easier to maintain.
Every writer is different, but determining whether you’re a plotter, pantser, or plantser can help you tailor your writing (and editing) routine, set realistic goals, and find techniques that work best for you.
