What does this mean?

Plotter work out the entire book before they write. The plot, characters, chapters, and scenes are all worked out first. Established authors who use a formula for their novels use this method as it works for them and it is what their publisher expects. For example: J K Rowling and John Grisham

Pantser or Discovery writers like Stephen King and Margaret Atwood let their stories write themselves. They have a rough idea of where it's going, but fundamentally they sit down and write to see where the characters take them.

I am a discovery writer: I love to sit down at my laptop and see where the story takes me. I wake up at 3am and have to write an idea down.

What type of writer are you?
