Re: Writing chapters out of order

Not quite what you state in the question, but I'm writing a screenplay at the moment, and though I started with chapter one, onto chapter two, etc. it's nothing like that. It definately looks like I've got a time machine. I'm giving a new meaning to a "non-chronological story." So, in the end. Yes, I'm pretty much writing my chapters in a different "order."

That said, I think it's pretty silly so write the final chapter first. It means your complete story is set in stone. Only the road to get there is open, not the end itself. I find that a boring way to write, because you know what's coming, and to me that takes out lots of the pleasure of writing.
