Yayyyyy I’m not alone. XD I don’t think I’m really a panster, since I’m not good a writing on the fly, but I do find out a ton about a scene by writing it. I finish writing it and I think, “oh, that’s how that’s supposed to go. Guess I need to rewrite it and then re-outline everything after it now that I know what it’s really about.” Which, erm, isn’t very effective when you’re trying to get a solid draft in…
I only have three chapters written (mainly to get a feel for the tone and character voices), and I’m afraid to write more until I have a solid outline. XD Though if you want, I don’t mind sharing those chapters and could send them to you 😉  (lol, you did remember the gist of it. I think yours had an assassin-or-something guy with a traumatic backstory trying not to hurt people?)
