The last time I tried that I ended up wandering all over the place. I seem to be the kind of writer who needs to plan out exactly what's going to happen, otherwise I lose my pacing.

Of course, what's happening isn't what I planned, but as long as I *have* a plan - even if it is a repeatedly re-written one - and know what's going to happen in the next chapter at least, I can keep on track :)

Seems to work for you, though - I love your chaptered fics.
