In Stephen King's, On Writing, he says that books written from an outline can be flat. He suggests putting your characters in a situation and letting them trowel out the story like archeologists on a dig.

I don't use an outline. I used King's suggestions on my last book and believe it worked. I'm using the same methodology on another project and have not much of an idea where it's going. I sure don't know how it's going to end.
