I think part of my problem (and solution) is that I don't always right in a linear fashion. I write the scenes that immediately jump into my head - and sometimes with no clue how I am going to connect them all.
This has lead to some interesting rewrites but it has also helped the story progress as I know where I want to go - i.e. connect the scenes.
The issue I have with outlining an entire story is - I tend to lose interest once I have a clear ending. I tend to tell myself the story, particularly the main scenes, and if I outline, or finish the story in my head... I lose impetus to actually write it.
