A pantser is someone who writes without an outline. They wing it. A conscientious writer -- a planner -- prefers to have an outline before writing something of non-trivial length or complexity, but not the panster. He, she, or they will write as if wearing pants on fire: they literally have no time to write an outline and just make it up as they go.
Seven years ago I was full pantser and then I started doing NaNoWriMo. -- Pat Marin
