This was always my issue with TDD. I never tried it, but I know that the way in which I have written software for more than a decade is "get a loose set of requirements, start digging, write some code, figure out what works and what doesn't, change things, repeat until done."

I never saw a way in which I could write a large number of tests up front.

This is basically the workflow with TDD though, and if you're writing a large number of tests up front, you're certainly doing it wrong.
