That’s a great term for that in between pantster/plotter writer. I definitely agree that you that you need an outline to have a firm grip on plot (even if you’re not going point by point.) I’m a pantster by nature, and like you I start with an idea and a basic understanding of what the end should encompass while still letting the characters dictate the majority of the story. Along the way, I build plot points through those interactions to make the story always cohesive and develop naturally while not puttering out with inaction (whether character or plot driven by lack of points of movement and growth within the story.)

I too enjoy the process of writing for the sake of writing, but am starting to realize that I will need to create some kind of outline to get me where I want to go. I am excited to have your series as a guide!
