Hybrid. My first novel was pantsed and it was a hot mess and i spent 3 months cleaning it into something semi workable. Second novel is outlined by plot points as is my novella. I learned my lesson the first time - I have to have at least plot beats in place. I still have room for spontaneity but am not writing all over the place trying to find direction.
my first novel was also pantsed and it came out like a bad lifetime movie. of course i was only 19 at the time. My second was a hot mess, which I might return to some day.
This one I've had ideas about for years, so plotting the outline isn't too hard.
