Ok, so I think I am ready to try to ice my cookies without the outline and then flood. So my question is this - could you tell me what consistency the icing needs to be? Could you give me an example, what does it remind you of?
I sometimes like the effect of outline in a darker shade and then flooding with a lighter colour, but would like to learn how to do this.
Again, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

For me, I think of the consistency of Elmers glue.
I don't outline first though. I just don't get too close to the edge of the cookie.
Flood your cookie with icing that is the consistency of Elmers glue as PP said. Once that has dried enough, add your boarder with a darker and thicker consistency icing.
or
Outline the cookie with a thicker, darker icing first. Let it dry a little, then flood the cookie with an Elmers glue consistency, lighter color icing.
When I do mine, I count until the icing drips "dissolves" back into the icing. For outline and flood in one motion, I use a count of about 8.
