My 750 word stories have no outline, I sit down, open my mind, and write.
I don't believe there is such a thing as a "real" pantser, "real" meaning that the writer just starts writing what comes to mind and keeps going until he or she gets to a convenient place to call "the end". Every writer starts a story with an idea for the beginning. It may not be when the writer writes the first line, but at some point, the writer develops at least some idea of how the story is going to end. I suppose there are writers here who try to do that, but I can't understand how a writer can have any continuity in the story or characters without at least a broad idea of where the story is going to go.
