  • 470. When a Pantser Turns Into a Plotter - with Ann Rose

    31:36||Ep. 470
    How to go from feeling your way through a story to actually knowing a bit about it before you start! Also - what does a cat have to do with kindness? Ann Rose is a typical Taurus—loyal but stubborn, which means being an author is perfect. While asking the private group chat for ideas on what to include in this bio, Ann was reminded that some of her greatest qualities are her awesome best friends from high school—a fact she couldn’t argue with. She loves dark chocolate, sarcasm, her family, tacos, and her cats—obviously not in that order. Ann also writes young adult novels under the pen name A.M. Rose. The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean is her most recent novel. 🎉 Unstuck is now available HERE!
