Almost sounds like what I do. I call it puzzle pantsing. I write chapters as they come to me, piece them together, and fill in any blanks.

For me I just can’t figure out how to organize it. Gets chaotic. Like making the puzzle pieces then figuring out how to put it together later. Kind of crazy making ngl 😵💫

I have an outline with general key goals and moments I know I want to happen for the plot. I let the characters inspire how I get to those moments and what happens in-between. But the outline is necessary as guardrails lol.

I have a google doc labeled “writing from phone” so that when I’m away from my laptop and inspiration strikes, I just write it down in there and have it for when it becomes relevant
