My account says it's nearly ten years old, and yet I've never posted on here before??? I guess that's because I just registered to spy on you guys! Well, anyway, what I'm currently writing is a time travel fantasy saga, that I really need help finishing and summarizing. I've written about half of it so far, including notes and all character summaries/histories and world mythology. I've been working on the novel for ten years. It's very high concept, I'm thinking trilogy, and I think has huge potential especially if I get it completed during this new time travel trend going on right now in pop culture.
Essentially, I'm a TV nut and not much of a reader, so I based the novel on cool plots I've seen in TV shows. I basically got tired of having time travel being portrayed as new thing. Watching another new team try to figure out how it works. So far Travelers is the only TV show that is remotely similar to my novel and the concepts but with the familiarity of Dallas-- The soap opera.
So time travel just works in my world and everyone has access to it. Powerful people are still corrupt and it operates just like any other civilization except that everything is based around time travel. Much like Magic in Harry Potter. This is not YA though, I think of it more like a soap opera. With very mature and sometimes twisted situations as I'm sure you can imagine. It's about powerful families who use their influence in the industry to get ahead over their rivals. It can get very political and then very mystical at times. There are dueling plots that deals with the religion of time travelers and the politics in the industry too. I've had a lot of difficulty attempting to summarize this even in this extremely long post, you still don't know anything about the politics or the very complex plots. Not even the characters' names!
Any advice would be much appreciated, including if you think I'm on the 'write' track or if this is just garbage not worth wasting my time on. If you want more information about the book, please feel free to ask me any questions.
