The other advantage of doing an outline for me is that it helps me remember what's supposed to come later. Otherwise, I'm likely to forget, and have to spend time re-figuring out what I wanted to do. Still, I definitely get new plot ideas as I write, and I do find I have to update my plot outline as I go. I guess I think of my plot outline as a flexible coat rack on which to hang my story.
