Plotters, Pantsers

Prompt: There are two kind of writers: plotters and pantsers. Plotters outline, planning their beginning, middle and ending. Pantsers don't write first drafts. They fly by the seat of their pants. Are you a plotter or a pantser?

I am a pantser. I fly by the seat of my pants when I write. I get an idea, plan it in my mind and go to my keyboard and write. It is like gentlemen, start your engines or writers, fire up your computers and write. I write my story. I go over it to look for errors or see if I want to change anything. I don't do outlines. I do write down character names I want to use or names of a town, city or place I am using. I just get to it. I know what I want to say. I don't like first drafts. I hate to rewrite. I like what I wrote the first time and I am content. It's my story and I'm sticking to it.
