I would just say that once you get an idea for a story, write it down as soon as you can. And when I started writing, I never made an outline before the beginning, I would just write as I went. But, making an outline/brainstorm, and just writing a few things down as a general guideline, and keeping that for reference works well for me. That also makes for a much better conclusion in my experience.
