Now, are you pantsing or plotting?

Pantsing (what I do) is where you write it on the fly, where in you literally use the phrase "I fly by the seat of my pants". In one instance, I used an AI chatbot that acted as an TTRPG game to plot a light novel (with a draft of it done already).

For my writing, I use LibreOffice Writer as my software (VibreOffice for Vim keybinds), if you were wondering.

If you do pants, get some inspiration from whatever it is that you do. What are you thinking at that time? Now, write it in the eyes of your character doing the exact same thing. What is said character thinking at the time. That's what I do, since I tend to do First Person POV instead of third person (with exception to a fanfic I wrote similar to one by GrandLeviathan, a well known fanfic writer for the Hololive community on AO3 and Fanfiction).
