Writing.Com General Discussion

Hi everyone,

I have recently decided to become a writer. I always wanted to be. Now I am burning all my bridges and dedicating my life to my new craft. I might suck... but I'm still going to follow my dream.

Now, here is a question I can not get a clear answer on.

I have many ideas about books, novels, novellas etc. But... i sometimes have a specific scene or a specific moment in mind that is not chronological to the part where i am currently writing. So to clarify: I haven't even began writing my book, but I already have the entire ending panned out, Or i start writing from the top, and halfway i think of a great happening or scene in the middle of the book. What would you do in such a situation. Write it down separately and work towards it, or discard it and see where the initial story will lead?

I am sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am learning, so... yeah... i don't care if it is:D

Thank you for your help.
