I've done the extreme outline, and the extreme seat of my pants, and I've found that the end result doesn't turn out too much differently for me XD That is, there is always need for major revisions and plot idiocy happens once I'm in the thick of it.

I've started "plantsing": know my ending (or at least, what I think my ending is; my endings change a lot). Maybe have the last couple of scenes noted toward that ending. Jot general notes about the story. Plot the first few scenes in a sentence or two. Write them. Then plot out the next few. Occasionally review what I have, and steer the story a bit.

Does it get me a "better" rough draft? I'm not convinced it does, but I've come to peace that my rough drafts are my rough drafts, no matter how much I try to prep for them, so I'll do my rough draft in the method I enjoy the most (right now, "plantsing"), and roll with it.
