Same here! Like J.K. Rowling too.

What is with the teachers anyway? Outlining the plot wastes time and restricts one terribly. The teachers often remind emphasize that their method makes sure you won't mess up and end without a plot. I think, however, that my method allows me to be more creative, and interesting... B)

Heh heh . I actually have outlined my current epic, the epic after this one, and then I outlined a epic that is unrealated to my current trilogy. But the outlines are flexible enough so I can add certain events as I go along.

But I don't ever outline Short Stories and Comedies. I like to outline my epics just so I don't get stuck, 'cause that almost happend to my first epic and I don't want it to happen again.

But there's nothing wrong with writing as you go along. Mostly, I like to use the outlines similar to a timeline and keep track of what happened and what will happen.
