Personally, I prefer to have an outline of the plot before I start writing, but not everyone works this way. Plenty of people just write the story and see where it goes.

However, I would argue that almost everyone has to spend a significant amount of time editing their first draft in order to make it into a polished finished product that is of a good enough quality to be presented to readers.

So, I would say write the first draft however you feel inspired to, and worry about patching up the plot holes and details later.

If you are inspired to write a particular chapter now, then write that one. After all, writing is usually a labour of love, so you should be enjoying it.

Otherwise if you force yourself to write in a particular order, then you might forget exciting things that are pumping around your brain now, and chances are you'll still have plenty to fix later in any case.
