Thanks Dien,

Two of the Best Selling Authors in the World have a NOT SO POLITE.

And One SIDED WAR going on.

Stephen King - Who coined the Phrase
"Pantser" for those who "Write by the seat of Their Pants." And Do Not Plot each story in advance.

Constantly FLAMES James Patterson.

Loudly.

And with 4 Letter Words.

Patterson - Outlines Everything - in advance - before Writing each story.

Patterson Also Outlines Books for Co-Authors.

"SACRILEGE" says, King.

IN TURN - James Patterson Has GREAT FUN with King.

Effusive Praise.

Kind Words.

Compliments.

Saying with a GRIN. "Just Imagine How my Compliments must TORTURE Stephen King."

ME?

I Use My Own "Greased Pig SPEED WRITING SYSTEM." Which Enables me to Write At LEAST 3 Times Faster than I ever did in college. And Yet Better too.

AHA!

I Discovered I have a Foot in Both Camps.

I Do a Rough Outline.
But
Always Go Above and Outside of the Outline.

Often Ending up somewhere Totally New and Unexpected.

Thanks,
Glenn

PS. - So If You Come across Stephen King Hurling Epithets at James
Patterson from a podium.

NOW You Have The REST of THE STORY.
