Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor: What Type of Writer are You?

If you’ve hung around in the writing community even a little bit, you might have heard of "Pantsers" and "Plotters" (or maybe you haven't), but have you heard of these other writer categories? (I’m guessing you haven’t, since I just made them up—or at least applied my own labels to category ideas cooked up by YouTuber Ellen Brock.)

Each writer's approach to creating stories is unique, but we do have some things in common that help us form categories. And those categories can assist in finding the writing tools that will work best for your writer "type."

I might still change my mind, but I think I sit somewhere in “Soldier” territory, myself. How about you?
