Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: This is a chicken or egg question. I do quite a bit of planning, but don't always follow the plan. Sometimes I feel like the plot or characters are moving in a specific direction, so I'll pause, brainstorm a few arcs to see where it may lead, then use that to guide future writing.
I don't like forcing things, because that's usually a recipe for bad writing. But if I run out of time, then there's not much choice.
Hope this helps.
