My approach takes RPing as a bit different than telling a story. A lot of times when I RP I just show up to things and see what happens. Storytelling requires a lot of control and thought in advance, this is a bit more like improv for me.
What that means is that when I want a story I have to plan aspects out in advance and treat it like a DnD session. I give enough free-form to it that what happens can have a wide-variety of outcomes. That's why I RP.
When I feel like writing a story that's more over-arching and better planned out... I do it. I write fiction and I RP, and to me they serve different needs.
