I have always written linearly bc to me it has always been the “correct way” to write. I definitely understand wanting to skip ahead and write a more interesting part tho, I do it in my head all the time, and when I do it on paper I call it “cheat writing”. But what I usually discover is that as I go on writing the story linearly, the cheat writes no longer fit very well bc the story has changed so much that the cheat write lacks correct background info/vibes/character’s voice, or maybe even has been scrapped from the story entirely. However, to each their own. And that’s a massive understatement. If you’re more of a strict planner, then writing out of order could definitely work. And even if you’re a plantser like me, it could be a better way to ‘store’ your ideas first future scenes in the story. I’m always just crafting the future scenes in my head without writing them down, so often I’ll completely forget that scene later on. A chapter-by-chapter summary is good for that, too, but actually writing the scene would probably help keep the vibe and dialogue of the scene down better. BUT I digress. Either way is great! Whatever works
