: Re: If you are beginner when it come to writing, should you be pantser? Or plotter? I asked my friends this question, they say being a plotter is better for a beginner, then once you get good

One doesn't "decide" to be a plotter or a discovery-writer ("pantser" is not considered a polite term in writing circles). One is one or the other, or somewhere on the scale between the two.

Some writers cannot write unless they've planned everything ahead and know where they're going. Some plan main events, others go so far as to plan the whole story scene by scene.
Other writers cannot plan at all: they let the story grow under their fingers, letting it take them wherever it would, finding out where it's going and what it all means. Trying to plan blocks and stifles them.

As a new writer, you will have to find out what works for you, how you write best, what's your way to create.
