I do both. I outline so that I know the beginning, the middle, and the end and then the fun begins as I find my way to all those points along the way. Getting up in the morning to find out what is going to happen to my characters is a lot of fun for me...and for my family, as well, who are very supportive of my writing journeys. I come to each chapter fresh—something like a reader does, eager to know what will take place.
