Writing with a Blend of Planning and Panstering

The speaker approaches writing with a mix of planning and panstering. They do not start with a blank page but have an idea of the starting and ending points of their book. However, the connection between the two points is discovered while writing, which is the 'pantsing' part. They mention using models and reports to analyze their writing, looking at chapters to identify pacing issues and areas needing more action.
