I wanted to get some experiences from both sides, though I'll give my experience as a pantser.

I've always been a spontaneous kinda guy, though my producer tends to be very meticulous in his planning (he uses numerology to do plan releases of his major works). Despite our spontaneity, I tend to be more of a guy who just pulls a lot of shenanigans off in the first place. For me, personally speaking, it makes sesne for me to have something in my head and go off of that.

Pantsing tends to help me with a ton, and I mean a ton of plot twists that could help, and tiny plot armor if and/or when needed. For example, towards the end of my work, my protagonist is finally able to do what he was meant to do (which I won't spoil here). I will say, however, that he was meant to do this, but he was in an area he couldn't due to how persecuted he was to begin with. I can say similar with how Neigsendoig (my producer) writes, considering the fact that we tend to just have ideas that we want to make into reality (watch The Survival Podcast Ep. 3688 if you want to know where I got that from).

Regardless, that's my quick notes on my pantsing experience. What do y'all tend to do when writing? Pants or Plot? No competition is intended, just me wanting to know both sides of it out of curiosity.

So for you, I'd say it's a hybrid of some sort. That makes sense all things considered.
