Screenwriting is a non-linear craft

Been away many days from this place.
I know, I know, there's nothing to feel guilty about.
Where I was? Doing my usual day-job stuff, but this time a bit overloaded.
But anyway, there's always some time to write, or at least, keep in mind what you're writing right now.
I was stuck in one scene, hell, it was the connector between a critical point and the resolution.
Suddenly, taking a shower, with some old Jean Michelle Jarre music in the background... the idea came.
It was an imagine at first, then it took shape as an scene. It was not the scene that I was looking for but one for 10 scenes after. However, thinking in the future let me knew the past. I got it!
Screenwriting is a non-linear craft.
Just let the ideas come (write them! I had to run to my notepad leaving a trail of water and soap, for my beloved wife complain of course), think in the final draft afterwards.
You never know.
FADE TO
