20 Whatever

Imagine being left in a planet with no liquid water. You have to find a plant (?) that looks like the child of a cactus and a fever-induced eldritch abomination, which burns your skin if you touch it, open it and eat whatever the thing that's inside it to get water in your body. Then you have to run so the people (?) caring for those plants don't eat you.

Maistro experienced this once, when he tried to escape from the time-ship. He learned the lesson…

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writing 19 Any stories told within your story?

There should be, since Maistro's story is made of 1000+ years of stories…=)

Some are told by him, some are about him, some are told TO him because he usually don't remember nor care about what he had for breakfast this morning, much less how he did X thing 680 years ago…>=)

So, I'm traveling a lot over Pentecost and will have time on the train. I can't quite decide which project to tackle first.

Whadda you think?

Final check of the translation of so that it gets done?
Start translating ?
Edit in which those books will feature?
Or screw it and just read the books of the author I rediscovered on Patreon yesterday?

Hello everyone. I'm back from the almost dead. Follow my advice and avoid getting a throat/stomach infection plus a fall from the stairs combo because you might not like the wonderful things something like that can do to your body. Cool things like feeling so weak that you can't even sign something at the bank, or hallucinate with an "AI filter" =-|

Now, I'm not sure if being back is a good thing…>=)

#TimeTravelAuthors 13: How did you come up with the rules of time travel?

Some I had already made up in my backstory in my teens.

The biggest chunk, however, was based on some personal logic and then a lot of calculations. I wanted a certain situation for Jules to live in, and the rest is based on that.

(Apologies to everyone who, like me, realizes they overused used "eye/s" in their work)

"And if you want my help, we need some ground rules."

Rocky rolls his eyes. "Rules? Whose time machine is it?"

"Your father's, Rocky."

He folds his arms, turning away.

I have way too many eye rolls in this book, but, oh well, it's not through edits yet.

#TimeTravelAuthors May 9 Who does your MC care about most?

In the beginning, Jules cares most about Philippa, his lost sister, because she needs him the most.
And tbh, Vera cares most about herself in the beginning, then Nolene, then Barb.

Things do change, though.

7: Pain in your story

There's a lot of mental pain from losing loved ones. physical pain - the backlash Vera and Jules suffer from whenever they cause a time flip, and then, of course, the issue with Vera’s leg...

I'm so crazy busy these days and unable to keep up with all my beloved hashtags - so please don't be mad if I post a day or two late (or not at all, but I guess that wouldn't be an issue for anyone but me 😅).

#TimeTravelAuthors 5: Why time travel?

I love history. I would love to be able to see these things with my own eyes. Hence, #LifeStages was born.

#JulesNVera wasn't originally meant to be about time travel, but (yes!) this hashtag inspired me. I had an old story from my teens, which I never finished, and I used that one as backstory. Also, I could incorporate little scenes from my historical stories.
And now, there's #TimeCurves and waits for me to edit it 😁
Thanks, @juliebihn !

May 1 Introduce your time-travel story

Recycling this since it's still

Vera and her sister Barb find a dead boy by the riverside. But while Barb arranges for police etc., Jules suddenly isn't dead anymore and convinces Vera to help him disappear.
This is the beginning of Vera's own travels to the center of time, to Jules' lost sister Pippa, and to the question that torments both families: What ever happened to their parents?

I always read books right from a lil kid. My Momma read to me and I carried on. I thank my mom for that. I learnt so much from reading and now I got the ambition to write a book of my own.
Shit this bitch taken so long I ain't gonna lie. But I nearly finished the first chapter 🤞🏾

#TimeTravelAuthors Apr 27 Saturday excerpt: game/play

(Looking at this snippet, I think I need to replace game with another word, at least once, though... 😅)

Vera finds Jules' old jersey from the time before.

Apr 26: In your story, who's hiding (literally or metaphorically)?

Rebecca Sayles' daughter Lucy (or possibly Lisa, Linda, Lara, Lori, Lily, etc.) is currently-ish residing at undisclosed space-time coordinates. This is confounded by the fact that Ms. Sayles doesn't actually have a daughter.

It's complicated.

#TimeTravelAuthors Apr 25: Tragedy/Disaster in your story

Truth be told, the tragedy already happened, and the disaster was barely averted. But that is what Jules and Vera are going to find out.

#TimeTravelAuthors 23: Controversial take?

I wasn't sure how to respond to this, so a day late:

Back to the Future was a fun movie, but its time travel logic doesn't make sense.
