First Rejection

 I got my first rejection! And it sucked. But not as bad as I thought and I'm still alive, I don't feel defeated. Which is a shock. I'm proud of myself for putting myself out there. Honestly it's a huge step for me to have even made it to a rejection. I don't remember who told me or where I heard that every no makes way for that yes. So I will get there. I know it will happen.

I have kind of talked about my process with writers block and how I got my start, and my fear of rejection. Also about my inspiration for my series. But now that I have had my first rejection I kind of want to talk about my series a little more. Obviously I don't want to spoil anything so I won't give those away.

When I publish, for me it will be blatantly obvious that the first in the series didn't always exist. And honestly it took years to get it off the ground. I went back and forth forever whether or not it was necessary, if it would be just back story or if would hold up on it's own. And honestly, I'm really glad I got over the sticky mess that it was, to make it into something. But it was not a cake walk.

There are so many versions of it, so many starts that I could never finish because it would hit a wall that I couldn't pass. So I would start over, take bit's and pieces from what I did like and go again. Much like the second installment its origin is vastly different from how it turned out. But in a good way. I don't feel like I over worked it like pie dough. For me, it's just right. 

My fantasy world is intricate. In a nutshell it involves the universe. In a Star Wars kind of way with traveling at light speed. But magical with portals and worm holes. Time moves differently on different worlds. And that can get a little confusing. So if something is happening to someone on one world, they could be present tense on another world and have that be apart of their past, but it is also apart of someone else's future. There are a few times where things like that happen and honestly it does get a bit messy. But they all intertwine and well it works for me. So hopefully it is not impossible to follow. 

Obviously I know the ending to the series to it all makes sense to me. Which is why I need more eyes on it. Eyes to tell me if it's to much or not enough. Because it's my baby. And I am biased toward it. 

But back to the universe and time. How I have created is basic. The closer to the center of the universe, the faster time moves. The farther you are, the slower it moves. Time travel is not really happening, more world travel which fluctuates depending on what time you travel to said world. 

For example. Say for us on earth 2023 we travel to a planet toward the center of the universe and they are three hundred years old. And then you travel back to earth and it is still 2023. And then in 2024 we travel there again but now they are three thousand years old. And so on. 

But also there are those characters who can travel to worlds but also through time. So one of them could travel to a world from anytime and go to whatever time they want. So if they wanted to go from earth 3000 to that same world they could go when it first became a planet if they wanted to. Or they could go to the same time line that it is with earth. Which is way to much math for my brain to compute how old that world would be. But even for those time travelers. They can't cross their own timeline. Or alter it I guess. 

But for another example. Someone goes to another world, during a time when someone they are close with is still growing up. They get to watch them grow up, knowing what will become of them. But there is nothing they can do to change what will happen to them. Because they are apart of that person's present but also apart of their past. If that makes sense. I don't know I think it's cool but like I said, probably sounds more confusing the way I'm trying to explain it. 

super fun stuff. 

Well I kind of went off, I plan on adding more about what I am writing when I drop in. So whoever is reading, if anyone and you have questions, you can ask. But also I'm pretty okay here just talking to myself. 

Until Next time.
