Jim: *cocks an eyebrow at her with the slightest smirk on his face* *fortunately she didn’t notice*

@zee I usually start with a plan and try to stick to it. Bu if I get fresh idea for the story along the way, I’ll throw a monkey wrench into the plan and add it in. Which, I guess, makes me both a planner and a pantser. 🙂
