Time is weird
… been busy minding your own business when suddenly whatever it is you’re doing feels like it’s a déjà vu moment from your past but you remember it happening in a dream so it’s really a forward déjà vu moment because it actually hasn’t happened yet and so you start spinning your wheels about the meaning of time and you feel like you have a new understanding of time-travel and maybe you could use it in a story so you open Scrivener but another program you’ve been waiting to update finally finishes and your computer needs to do a restart and you automatically click on the restart button and the fleeting time-travel idea you just had has now disappeared but you think you might find it at some point in the future because a déjà vu and time-travel are the same thing?
Nah. Me Neither

It was either this or the Time Warp song from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this song after I accidentally started watching a spooky horror movie called Fallen, in which this song features heavily …(I usually avoid horror movies like the plague but this one had Denzel Washington in it so I thought it might be … interesting – it was)
No…but I wake up with weird ideas quite a lot. 😉

I have them too, I can feel them hovering, just before I come fully awake, by the time I do, they’ve snuck out the back door. 🙂

I am beginning to lose a lot of stuff like this. There must be an enormous pile of it somewhere!

The Stones are pretty great for an old time sing-A-long …. although the boys would probably be slightly horrified at their music being considered ‘sing-a-long’! … my how the times have changed. 🙂

It sent my head in a spin while reading this, so I really don’t know. Maybe. Maybe not.

I mean…no. But it’s very familiar. I lose stuff frequently but never that, not yet.

Happens to me regularly, at least with story starts. I have notebooks, paper, pencils, and pens all over the house and backyard, but are they ever there to grab at the moment. Hahahaha

I was going to say, “yeah, yeah, that’s happened to me too!” But then I got confused. Ha ha. Which is pretty normal. Deja vu is a totally cool phenomenon. And you’re right that there’s a story in there. Great song too. I’ll have to check out Fallen. 🙂

Trying to find a way to make time-travel stories work needs to be a SF writers highest ambition. 😀

I haven’t been able to find a way to get around the two main tropes … yet … that of the endless loop that changes nothing or creating splinter universes … that make sense in a ‘suspension-of-disbelief’ science-y way. 🙂
