I've never outlined my stories either, but then, I've never finished one. I write until the inspiration leaves me, and rarely does it return. "The Punisher" is actually the longest piece that I've ever been consistently happy with, and sorry to disappoint the fans, but I don't know that I can go back and finish it.

Back to advice--as far as whether you do or don't outline, or how, when, and where you write, there can be no advice, really. Every writer is different. Some can sit themselves down from 9 am to 5 pm and write something wondrous. Others, myself included, can only hope inspiration will strike and that there's a computer somewhere when it does. Inspiration struck me once in my truck on my way to work, and I actually went 85 mph trying to get to my computer in time before it left me. (Didn't make it). Sounds funny, I know, but it's the essence of art. Find out what works for you and stick with it. If you're as temperamental a writer as I am, I'll pray for you.
