WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 19 -- Tuesday

Hello on Tuesday!  Sorry I'm a bit late posting today -- I was traveling and just got back to a computer.

What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or if you haven't begun yet, what do you hope for today?
  • I thought about my fic once or twice
  • I wrote
  • I did some planning and/or research
  • I edited
  • I've sent my fic off to my beta
  • I posted today!
  • I'm taking a break
  • I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment
For Discussion: Do you write from an outline?  If so, how detailed is it?  If not, how do you go about organizing your thoughts for writing?

I've worked a bit more on my Yuletide fic.

It depends on how long the fic is, or how complicated, but longer fics I outline. The more detailed the outline, the smoother the writing process, but alas, the temptation to handwave during the outline is big, which often comes back to bite me in the ass later.
