Plunge or plan?

‘Faith is taking the first step when you can’t see the whole staircase.’  This quote belongs to Martin Luther King. And it got me thinking. Is that how I write my short stories?  A spark flares and I go with it… no plot outline, no end in sight. Do I step out in faith? Well, yeah. It’s true - I start typing. Sometimes the staircase ends, and my work plunges into nowhere. I like it better when faith rewards me.
