TODAY’S QUESTION
Do you outline your posts (planning) or do you just go ahead by the seat of your pants (pantzing) ?
MY ANSWER
I think most people (myself included) would say that they use a combination of both methods. Whether I use planning or pantzing depends on many things : my mood, time, topic. Sometimes I use both for the same post.
When I am doing a series, like my current A to Z challenge, planning takes over. This is also true for the two prompts that I run : Blogging Insights and 5things. When I am responding to someone else’s prompt, or get a sudden inspiration, pantzing takes over. It’s a bit like yin and yang.
Okay, these were some of my ideas, now I would like to read yours’ .
You can leave a reply in my comments section.Better still, why not create a post of your own? Just remember to tag it #bloggimginsights
Interesting question! I also plan when I’m doing a series but I pantz for everything else. It’s a 5% plan, 95% wing-it situation for me 😅

It’s going to be a combination of the two with nearly everyone, just the percentages will vary.
I guess I should have asked for the math 😃

I used to be a pantser, but now I’m about a 90% planner, especially with my refresh. It works out better for me to have the illusion of control via trivial things, such as blog posts.

I didn’t think of this before, but I completely agree. Just as most people are a combination you can morph more towards one side or the other.

I rarely plan my posts. Occasionally I will, but not often, normally I fly by the seat of my pants!
