Very interesting thread. For my last couple books I spent a lot of time brainstorming characters and plot in an outline form. Worked great the first time I did it. Now, though, I'm finding that because I've covered the major plot movements in the outline headers, I get stale and non-creative while moving the story from one header to another. The whole exercise of writing has turned into "how can I get these people from point A to point B so exciting scene C can happen?" I like the previous idea about violating the outline. I might have to give that a try.
