Good question. I think a timeline is important when you're doing a story to keep everything in order. You don't want someone to be reading and think, 'Wait a minute, this is happening on a Wednesday a week ago. But how is that possible? Wasn't Joe Blow in Timbuktu that day? Why is he now in Never-Never Land." And then the reader goes back trying to find where Joe Blow actually was in the story a week ago on that Wednesday.
Seems silly I know. But I get confused sometimes in a book and have to backtrack to keep all the characters and the storyline straight.
