Plans most of the time with my agent. Usually like BIG scene by scene plans too, like 8k. But she is very editorial (and an actual wizard) so can spot plot or pacing problems even from that. Saves a lot of time and she's always excited to see what I come up with. Then we'd usually have a phone call going through it together and a bit of back and forth. Usually for several hours. Then I go off and write it.
but I write so fast I tend to have two "unplanned" manuscripts done for every one she vets, so I suppose I'd be a half and half.
