My royal eminence, Sometimes God has a solid way of reminding us how deep our potential goes and how clearly it will manifest. This was the case with Mr Andrew Paul Lanster.

Drew was a guy that lived in the heart of Nappy Valley City. He worked half a day as a writer/editor at the "Nappy Valley Daily Report." Not quite inspiring as you would think, at least not in the last 2-3 years. His content had grown, how can I say this, stale. His colleagues were getting concerned and the boss called him in two weeks ago, told him to find some inspiration real quick because the graph was going down for real, and that, he should stop getting late. Fast forward, he was late again on Monday and he's already 15 mins late again today. "Ow s*#@ I'm late again!" Startled, and heading straight for the showers. The guy skipped breakfast and took a bike to escape traffic.
Traffic is heavy in this city. He got there half an hour late. "15 mins earlier than Monday, wow you must've really tried." "Give it a rest Florence..." "I'm just saying, boss is not happy about your timekeeping. Work on it before you loose your job drew" "...and after that maybe you can work on not being a such a loudmouth."
Florence was the office gossip and Drew brushed her off as usual, but couldn't stop thinking about loosing his job. Scary. He booted his computer and right there an email popped up. It was... You guessed it, his boss. "2nd strike, 3rd strike your out!" He stared into that screen, all he could hear was this ringing in his ears. A fear he had just discovered, was staring right back at him. A plus on his side, though, was that he had completed his assignments 3 days early, which he handed in, and took his three days off. This was awesome, because now he has time to think about all the things he should be thinking about, i.e him needing a plan and all.

After a long bus drive home, he couldn't wait to make himself some coffee and create a way for him to find some inspiration. Google and all the solutions it offers, LMAO, was the perfect place for him to drown himself in all the information he could come across. 'Plotter or Panster?'
This question stood out so of course he clicked the link very fast. What he found was exactly what he was looking for. Or so he thought.
-A plotter is someone who plans out their novel before they write it. -A panster is one who writes very little or close to nothing at all. They go with the flow. 'Which one are you?' was the question Drew decided to find an answer to. 'whichever you are, become the opposite for a while' Let me tell you, this guy actually took the challenge.
He didn't want to make any irrational conclusions until he was 'undoubtedly aware,' since his career was on the line. His plan was to submerge himself in the characters of each, just for a day, to have an in-depth view of both. This way it would be clear to him, which one resonates with his kind of writing most, and that'll help him find his inspiration. It was to be a 2 day project; get to the coffee corner shop down the street, and back home successfully. Shouldn't be that difficult, right? Nop! Wrong! He prayed and went to bed knowing that, Friday is the whole country's favorite day of the week, so there's no reason for anything to go any way but right!. But there was so much reason for everything to go so wrong. He had no idea. In tomorrow's #Coffee Corner; lighter... we'll walk drew through 2 days of confusing adventures and immense liberation.
BELIEVE!
