I tried for 20 years to write a book by outline, and I hated every minute of it. It didn't feel like it flowed.
When I gave up and started writing without the outline, I could write 1000 words a night. Sometimes more, sometimes less. What I started out with 20 years ago, looks nothing like what my novella turned out to be. 198 pages of freedom that made me cry for joy when it was done.
There is no right way to "pants" You have to be open to whatever flies through your brain. In many ways it's like you're living someone's dream and you are recording it.

As a plotter, I can't comment except to say that I respect how everyone's process is different, and it's important to do what works for you!
