do you use an outline when you write?

sadly no 😭 it would help tremendously but i tried several times but then during writing, the story takes a turn on its own and suddenly i'm off-track again. instead nowadays i do the following: 1) write the beginning (kinda the first act, setting the tone, the dynamics, the storyline) + the scenes i really really want to include, 2) figure out the ending, then 3) bullshitting my way thru to the ending haha this way at least i have a clear end goal so at least that's settled!
