Excellent advice! My last initial outline was 'coming of age. Leave home, meet charismatic companions, strive for accomplishment. Fail repeatedly but turn failures into some kind of success. Return home, lie about adventure, retire and drink ale under a yew tree while spinning yarns.

By the time I was writing it, all that turned into concrete steps. Entirely different from what I had imagined it would be.

Very true!
I work around the major plots to start to finish first.

Then I do a detailed outline for each act

It worked WONDERS for me. I have finished 2 book outlines in 1 year for the first time ever.

I think a loose outline works best for me. I made a (very) detailed outline of the book I'm working on right now and I had an important character appear that never existed in my outline. Threw me for a moment as I stared at my compure thinking "who the heck are you?" He changed a lot of the rest of the story with his sudden appearance.
