I've said I'm not sure, as you never know what you would do/how you'd react until you're thrust into that situation. However, I doubt I would be able to do ...

I must say I haven't tried the latter, I generally tend to write chronologically. However, when I do write I rarely have the whole plot organised, which is why I ...

hehehe, I loved the Angelina Pattycake bit. So funny... *chuckles happily to self*
