This is just an idea, so no guarantees Iāll write it, but lemme know if itās interesting!
So, what if thereās a person (who Iām giving autism and gender fluidity because I can) who finds a mirror, but it isnāt really a mirrorā¦ itās a time portal that leads to their future self. They go through the portal and find their old, frail self and immediately have questions about the future.
The future person tells them that the day after they stepped through the portal, their life takes a turn down a sad road. Their future self tells them about all the bad memories they had, and after the past person begins to panic and cry because their future is filled with sadness.
Then their future self tells them that one choice threw them down the sad road, and said that every thing the future one did that day, the past one should do different.
So the past one leaves and goes through their routine, but the following day after meeting their future self, they did everything different from what they wouldāve done, and everything works out:)
This is kinda stale, so I might spice it up if I ever get around to writing it.
That sounds really cool! A bit dark, but what if they donāt manage to change the future? I feel like thatās a much more unique ending than magically being to make the right choices that lead them back to a good path
Like, maybe itās like, their old self tells them their future is bad, and then it actually shows the good and bad versions of each event? Like the old one doesnāt specify the events, but then the rest of the book is following both good and bad routes?
This is a good idea! Iām not really good at writing or makings storyās , so hopefully there is some very good people to help you here! :]
I only know how to draw for stories
But I hope you have the best luck on making this story come to life!
Yes. I think it would also be cool if like there where some bad things her future self warned her about that even though she fixed that one decision, she makes a wrong one later on and the āsame thingā happens. If youād rather a book with a super happy ending, I wouldnāt do that, but I think the book would go to show that even if you could change something in your life you canāt make it all good and sometimes your going to mess up.
Well, their life wouldnāt be perfect after that day. Itās just better.
or maybe, not even? What if it seems better at first, but then it still ends up sad? Itās just the same sad road, but the way they took that drive was different.
If you ever need help I would love to. Iām pretty good at drawing, and decent at writing. If Iām being totally honest Iām good at coming up with awesome book ideas and then never turning them into books, or trying and they never turn out like how I thought they would
I just realized I just stole your idea, but just said it differently.
or maybe, not even? What if it seems better at first, but then it still ends up sad? Itās just the same sad road, but the way they took that drive was different.
like, imagine that the sad road is the only path to take. im thinking the sad road could be the loss of a loved one, but they think itās their fault (ex: say they went shopping with their parent and they arrived home and they realized they forgot to somewhere, so the parent goes alone and smth happens.) and then the past them realizes:
āThis future cannot be changed..?ā
also, i only wrote this cuz i didnāt want to repeat what some of yāall saidā¦
, so hopefully there is some very good people to help you here! :]
