🧭 What Kind of Storyteller Are You?
Discover the 5 Types of Writers—and the Path That Fits You Best
Every writer has their own creative rhythm. Some map the whole story out before writing a single scene. Others dive in with nothing but a vibe and a character name.
And some? They blend it all together in a beautiful, chaotic, very real process.
That’s why we built a free quiz to help you figure out your storytelling style—and what kind of writing approach actually works for you.
Truly, every writer is different and has a different process. The key is to find yours, and stick with it, but be flexible so you can grow and develop along the way. As the Plot Dude, I'm here to help. I've changed my process several times over the years, and I'm still learning! You will be too. So let's dive right in and look at those five types:
🧭 The Plotter
You plan ahead, love outlines, and thrive on structure.
🌲 The Wanderer
You discover the story as you go—intuition leads the way.
🧪 The Hybrid
You like a little structure, a little freedom, and a whole lot of flexibility.
🧩 The Mosaic Builder
You write in scenes, vignettes, and fragments—then stitch them together.
🪓 The Sculptor
You write first, revise later. Draft hard, shape deep.
