I once wrote a short story--serious (not my usual forte) and since it was fictional, that is also not my MO--but I was quite proud of it.

I ad lib in my writing all the time, and many times I end up with a character popping up that I had no idea existed, and it's a good thing. Other times a lot of the ad libbed stuff gets edited out.
