and not limited to science, the English language, plots that make sense, and humanity.)

So. This thing. I told myself I wouldn't make a thread until I could accurately explain what my story was all about but that is clearly never going to happen so have this nonsense instead.

SPOILER: Click to show

The current time is 11:47 PM.

It has been 11:47 PM for ten minutes now.

Ever since he was young, Quentin found that whenever he got upset or angry he could cause time to behave in strange ways that defied common logic. Now that he's a bit older (but not much wiser) he's found that it tends to happen less and less until it doesn't really happen at all. Until the day before he's supposed to turn nineteen. Only he never does because before the clock strikes midnight, he is abruptly transported to a past that isn't his, a past that doesn't fit in with anything written in any history book he's ever read. Now the future he abandoned has become something else - something very strange, but Quentin finds he doesn't have the time to mind when time itself has become his greatest weapon.

I am bad at describing things. That is the general gist of it, I guess. Only it explains absolutely nothing. Expect a more detailed synopsis... probably never. You can't tell it from the paragraph above but I am super jazzed about this story. It's not nearly as serious as sounds, either, actually it's quite ridiculous and insanely fun. That's the approach I'm taking this year, just writing something crazy that I honestly enjoy instead of constantly worrying the whole time about whether what I'm writing appeals to people or if it's any good at all. (SPOILER: It isn't.)

Things that you may or may not find in this novel:

Time travel (No duh)
A little girl with horns who may or may not exist solely in the MC's imagination
An awesome bromance
'66 red Ford Mustang convertible (the greatest car to have ever existed)
A cat that may or may not be dead (you decide)
A hot glue gun (gotta fill that unconventional weapons quota)
~PLOT TWISTS GALORE~

AND SO MUCH MORE!

NEXT TIME: Characters and maybe an excerpt? OH BOY

Oh man Jakie that idea sounds fantastic. Time travel is always a challenge to write about- I can't wait to see how you pull it off. Good luck!

(Also, possibly dead cat? Is that a reference to Schrodinger? Because if it is you are an awesome person.)

Ah, thanks. I've been wanting to write about time travel for a long while now, to the point where anytime I'd start working on one of my other projects my brain would be all SUDDENLY TIME TRAVEL and I'm like no. That doesn't make any sense here. So I figured I'd actually write a story that deals entirely with it and get it all out of my system. It's not just time travel either; there's a whole mess of physics concepts and theoretical science that I am going to ruin play with and probably do horrible things with since science was never my forte. (Though I love it so, it doesn't love me back) The nice thing about it though is that I'm learning a lot. :3

(INDEED IT IS. Not the first reference you'll see of it and other paradoxes in this story, the title is for a reason. ((A reason other than sounding vaguely cool/punny, I mean.)) Probably.)

So I am behind, mostly due to my whack schedule. The only times I can write are later at night and sometimes in the morning, and that's only when my eyes and my brain are functioning well enough to actually produce sentences that aren't total gibberish. (UNLIKELY) but I am working on it! Now I need to go write instead of talking about why I'm not writing because I don't feel like writing and just write. Wow that sentence is madness.
