To me, my process is mixed… sometimes it’s outlines, but other times, it’s going by the seat of your pants (ie, a “pantser”).

Lincoln Way was a “pantser” from Jump Street.  Remember that it started out as a “anti-spank-o-wank” one-shot where questions got asked.

For my potter story, it’s not an outline, but a spreadsheet.  Initially wrote that ages ago, but it was a godsend when I returned to working on it a decade and a half after starting.  Basically, each column’s a person (or group), each row is a day, and I’ve got one/two of the major things that person (or group) is doing in the cell.  Not every cell’s full, simply the main points.
