a new way to write--for me

Since every manuscript is different, I've decided to try something new for my next one. I've been really blocked in plotting everything I write lately. I think that it might be because I know my characters first before the plot. Why not try to imagine a plot first and then add the characters after? It can't hurt. I've never been one to write plot-driven manuscripts ever--and even by trying this technique, I imagine the characters will take over as soon as I add them anyway--but maybe it'll help. I don't have anything to lose.
