I've been doing combinations of lots of things--some where I have a general sense of plot and just let it flow, some where I've written up a loose structure (not chap. by chap., but highlighting the big plot points), and some where it's totally organic.
Most of the reason why I don't try for total structure is because by the time I get to chap. 3, it all goes out the window, anyway. :-D But some general idea helps keep my eye on the end results so I have a reason for forward momentum.
