Which are you, a plotter or a pantser?
In other words, do you plot, or fly by the seat of your pants*?

*Curious where this odd phrase comes from?
Fly by the seat of your pants is a term from early aviation. Pilots had very little by way of navigation tools. Making it to a final destination relied on a pilot's wits and intuition. The term emerged in the 1930's, and was first widely used in reports of Douglas Corrigan's flight from the USA to Ireland in 1938.
