Mystery Writing: Puzzle First

Perfect Your Process, the annual writing habits and practices summit, is back! And the Plottr team is speaking at two sessions this weekend. It's one of the best summits all year run by Daniel David Wallace, who is just an awesome guy. It's a FREE writing summit with an optional upgrade to watch the replays. Join us! summit.yourwritingprocess.com/?ac=AUm0qeIB

This was a fun one!

@Hunyadi_at_Noon Thanks for the summons. Responded 😄

@PlottrApp You are being summoned...

@PunishedTimo I was summoned to respond here. Despite making a tool called "Plottr", I'm actually somewhere in between. I do both, but I probably lean more towards pantsing when it comes to each scene. Long live plantsers … plotsers? 🤨

There useful reasons for the distiction, but really, all authors are pansers. At some point you have to just make it up from nothing wether thats in outlining or in drafting. Plotters are superior however because they do it in such a way that save alot of time and energy.

@CueRen666 Thank you for taking the time to say that! We really appreciate the support, and I hope it will help your writing moving forward!

@PlottrApp I saw this post on Facebook a while ago but never got to comment. Just want to say, Thank you @PlottrApp for not focusing on AI. I’ll admit, I haven’t been using it since there’s no phone app yet. But, after seeing this post, made me go back and use Plottr. ✍️📝

AI is NOT coming to Plottr We're keeping it human-centered, human-focused, and human-crafted. Long live human-crafted storytelling!

@JenSneedWrites Keep 'em in the air, you can do it!

Haven't posted in forever! Started new job as a paralegal on 12/1/25 & have been treading water to learn the job & juggle my creative endeavors. Making it-but it's not the easiest thing ever. So many of you are juggling working for a paycheck w creativity - I see you. I am you.

2025 Recap and what's coming for 2026 in Plottr No AI in Plottr! youtu.be/BbMSiUHbxDE

AI features are NOT coming to Plottr. That’s right. We’re not building AI features into Plottr. We’re keeping it human-centered, human-focused, human-crafted. It feels like AI is being crammed into everything these days, but we don’t want to empower some machine to write the book for you. We know that you love the craft, and so do we!
