I've had that experience of writing things out of sequence then having to rearrange them to put them in the correct order. Another writer friend who has run into the same thing and I refer to it as "puzzling" a book. Definitely not something I'm a fan of, but I can hardly tell a character, "Sorry, I can't write that yet." They tend to frown on such rejection and get even at some point. LOL

Yes they do. I won't take the chance. :-)

Maybe the characters are all old gaffers, retired, sitting around and telling old war stories, and that is why they are all out of order and jump around, as one riffs off the other for "their" next bit of memory.

I hadn't thought of that, but it seems likely. :-) Hope I don't wander into that particular general store again.
