This is putting SOOO many things in perspective for me. I think I go between the two, I plot the philosophy or the idea I am trying to convey. So I am a plotter, but then throughout the story itself I am sort of a pantser. I set the destination from the start but then be willing to change it a little bit or even entirely if the characters don't seem to be able to get there in a way that makes sense.
I also look at philosophy of writers and filmmakers, mainly filmmakers because it my passion. Christopher Nolan's and philosophy of the self, society and the universe, maybe mix it with Dan Harmon's 8 steps of telling a story. Add a motif or two, and then hope for the best.
Thank you for such informative posts. Writing in English is difficult and there are plenty of terms to writers that don't exist in Arabic AT ALL that I learn everyday. I love this series.
I touched on something similar in parts in my post About stuff I learned from Christopher Nolan and cinema in general.
I'm glad you're enjoying the series, @amirtheawesome1. Thank you for your efforts to write in English. I'm sure that must be a challenge, writing in a second language.
I like that description - going between the two as it suits you. It seems like an effective approach, since you can "put down the bones" as a plotter and write as a pantser, using the different creative processes that work best for each!
