I can’t write in a straight line. And it’s probably because I already have some idea of where I want to go. That usually involves writing different parts of the story out of order and then piecemealing them together.
Linear storywriting, for me, turns into a lot of screen staring. For whatever reason, I am unable to continue on to the next part and the next part in order. I start at the beginning, of course, and write as much as I have. Then I skip ahead to an episode where I want to end up. Thereafter, I connect the dots. It works for me. It helps me maintain logic. It also precludes me from bringing anybody along as I write.
My inner introvert probably likes it that way.
