You find me making this first post as I am just working on the final chapter - which is, in fact, the first chapter...
Excitingly, this is my first book and I had, quite wrongly as it turns out, expected to be writing the chapters in order...as you do.
Well... no you don't.
Under strict (but incredibly helpful) instructions from the commissioning editor, the writing started with Chapter 3. Which confused me thoroughly. But then I'm easily confused. The idea (and it is a good one) is to jump in right where the action begins. Starting that way does indeed get your mind focussed.
That said, I still had to rewrite great chunks of Chapter 3.
