I don't outline as such, certainly not the to the extent of planning chapters. I start writing and things evolve. I do keep notes, both about where I've been and ideas about where I think I'm headed. In the series I've just finished I knew, very roughly, what the last/climactic scene, and even the epilogue, was going to be from somewhere around halfway through the first book, but I had very little idea of what would happen in between (other than a few critical milestones and a cloud of vague ideas).
I like it that way. It makes the writing an exploration for me, more interesting and intriguing. I think, if I knew in detail everything that was going to happen, I probably wouldn't bother to write it down.
