I generally have a rough outline of what the story will be and where I want it to go (the main idea) But the details come as I write, as if I'm following the characters from there. sometimes they do what I had imagined before starting it, sometimes they take a detour, but normally they end up where I intended them to be.
I don't quite know what you mean about feeling the story? do you mean knowing it it works or not, if it's worth continuing? if it's that, I do generally feel it as I do write, or it's really hard to come back and fix afterwards (unless I scratch it all and start anew)
