Question. How many of you write by the seat of your pants. I think they call us 'pansters' and for better or worse this is how I write. I never outline. I just start with an idea, plug in characters and let it evolve. Sometimes it causes me problems. Sometimes the characters take over, but some of the wonderful twists and curves come from this.

I think.

Stephen King wrote that if you know what is going to happen so will the reader. Maybe an outline telegraphs the outcome.

I'm interested in other viewpoints. What do you think? Sometimes I feel an outline would give me more focus. Never to late to learn.
