elisia_spiering asked Samiksha Bhattacharjee:

Congrats on your book! I was wondering if you heavily outline your book or if you just start writing and see where it takes you?

Samiksha Bhattacharjee Hi Elisia! Thanks so much :D
When I started writing "Legal Crime", I didn't plan at all - I was definitely more of a panster. However, as I approached the end of the story, I realised that I needed to plan out the chapters. This led to me making basic chapter outlines for the last part of the book, alongside family trees so I could keep up with the character's relationships with one another!
What I'm doing for my next novel, however, is vastly different. I planned out everything beforehand - with detailed character, lore and chapter information. I'm still trying to decide which suits me better!
